This specimen is a rather scarce date of a series struck 1873-1904 at the Culiacan mint. [[Mexico]] City is the commonest mint, followed by Guanajuato, Culiacan, [[Mexico 1889-Zs Z peso|Zacatecas]] (scarce), Hermosillo (rare), [[Mexico 1888-As L/M peso|Alamos]] (rare) and Chihuahua (rare). Even the common dates have low mintages but the type was widely hoarded, making it reasonably available today. Only the overdate, 1891/89, is listed.
