  • Mint Mark & Rarity: The "Mo" mint mark signifies its origin from the Mexico City Mint, one of the most celebrated mints in the world, known for its prolific silver output. This particular year and mint combination add to its collectibility.
  • Chop Marks: This coin carries chop marks, which are test marks made by merchants or traders, particularly in Asia, to verify the coin's silver content and authenticity. These marks tell a story of international trade and circulation.
  • Material: Struck in 0.903 fine silver, this coin holds both historical significance and intrinsic value, appealing to collectors of both Mexican coinage and silver.
  • Condition: Despite showing signs of circulation, including the chop marks, this coin retains enough detail to appreciate its design and historical significance. The wear and marks add character, illustrating its journey through time.
  • Historical Context: Minted during the late 19th century under the Porfiriato, a period of economic modernization in Mexico, this coin was part of the currency that circulated widely, including in international markets.
