Maximilian Pattern "Small Letters" Peso 1866-Mo MS63 Prooflike NGC, Mexico city mint, KM-Pn100. A seldom-offered pattern issue that was produced with peripheral lettering on the obverse that is noticeably smaller than that used in the circulating type. About as nice as these come with a comparatively sharp strike and pleasing prooflike reflectivity within the lightly toned fields. An elite item from Maximilian's reign and one of the most charming relics from this short-lived period of Mexican history.
