MEXICO – 1873Go S Twenty Pesos KM-414

Owner Comments:

The coinage of the Mexican Republic was produced at numerous mints, and this choice twenty pesos gold coin was struck at Guanajuato (Go) in the nation’s central region. A mere 7,000 examples were produced, and seldom is one seen in such fine condition. Its obverse displays the cap-and-rays device so familiar from earlier issues now surmounting the scales of justice and law. The gold fineness is expressed as 875 (87.5%). Its reverse features the national symbol of an eagle killing a snake while perched atop a cactus.
