Watch List notes:

MEXICO. Jalisco. Tequila. Lazaro J. Gallardo Copper 1/8 Real Token, 1857. NGC MS-61 Brown.
R-JAL-154. A few scattered marks consistent with the grade, along with some alluring reddish-brown surfaces.

Lazaro Gallardo was a tavern owner and tequila producer in the famous Mexican town of Tequila. A year after this token was produced, Gallardo invented the process that he called 'seleccion suave,' or the smooth selection, whereby newer tequilas were blended with older, smoother, and more refined tequilas, allowing for the highest quality tequila available. He later named his tequila Gran Centenario, a brand which is still produced--using Gallardo's method--even today.

Estimate: $75.00- $150.00
