This specimen is a somewhat scarce date of a series struck 1871-92 at the Culiacan mint. The SCWC notes all specimens are the overdate, 1881/0. This twenty-five centavos piece replaced the two reales struck since colonial times. It, in turn, was replaced by a smaller twenty centavos piece in 1898.

Specification: 6.77 g, .903 fine silver, .196 troy oz ASW.

Recorded mintage: 18,000.

Catalog reference: KM 406.2.
