This specimen is a common date of a series struck 1870-1900 at the Guanajuato mint. Mexico City is the commonest mint, followed by Guanajuato, Culiacan, 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. Numerous date varieties exist; the first specimen shown is an 1897/6.
