This specimen was lot 71139 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, May 2023), where it sold for $336. The catalog description^[1] noted, "ANGUILLA. Anguilla - Mexico.

A pleasing example of this SCARCE type with especially sharp lettering." A newspaper editor and coin collector in San Francisco fabricated these to raise money for his friends in Anguilla, an island in the Caribbean. He counterstamped a variety of readily available silver coins, including this Mexican ten pesos. As they never circulated, Krause has consigned them to Unusual World Coins.
