REPUBLICA MEXICANA • Eagle, with a snake in its beak, standing on a cactus. This, the national symbol of Mexico, stands for the Aztec legend that foretold they were to make a great empire in a marshy area where they would see a cactus with an eagle standing on it eating a snake. The site where this actually happened is now Mexico City.

Mexico used the medieval system of Dineros and Granos to measure the fineness of their coins, Twelve Dineros designating pure Silver with each Dinero divided into 24 Granos. A coin of 10 Dineros 20 Granos equated to .902777 fine.
The Coin:
A beautiful piece, it had an uneven partially weak strike, then it probably saw a few hands, earning some light wear, a few small marks and light dirt. The luster and color are fully original, it has never been cleaned. As grading is subjective, please see the pictures and judge for yourself.
