Owner's Description

Mintage: Estimated to be 2 Pieces. Finest Known Example. Acquired from the June 2006 Long Beach CA Heritage Signature World Coin Auction #410, Lot #14320. Heritage listing comments.."KM lists a Specimen for 1947, which we had an example in our New York sale earlier this year. They do not mention a Proof, or can we find it listed in any reference. We heard mention of two Proof strikings, the other supposedly in a major U.S. collection, but until this coin appeared we had never seen a 50 Peso that even looked remotely like this coin. Fully mirrored fields with frosted devices and a superb cameo appearance. An incredible discovery coin and a great modern Mexican rarity."
