Campo Morado 1915-CM 2 pesos KM-662

from the Mountain Groan Collection

This coin was issued by the Zapatistas under conditions where they were unable to part the gold from the silver, so they simply minted the alloy they had. As with any coin struck from hand made dies, numerous varieties exist. Most were promptly melted down as the gold content made them worth more than face value.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: silver and gold.

Catalog reference: KM-662.
