Owner Comments:
Revolution against the corrupt rule of President Porfirio Diaz commenced in 1910 and prompted several states to issue their own coinage out of necessity during the turbulent years that followed. Arguably the most desirable of these emergency issues is the magnificent gold sixty pesos piece coined by Oaxaca in 1916. Executed with greater skill and care than most revolutionary issues, it is clear that a few were preserved by those few who had the means to do so. This wonderful specimen is a beautiful gem from the famed collection of Louis Eliasberg, Sr.
