Mexico
Oaxaca. Revolutionary gold 60 Pesos 1916 MS64+ PCGS, Oaxaca mint, KM755, Fr-174, GB-379. Reeded edge. An immense offering, one of Mexico's most iconic gold coinages and one whose popularity makes it almost impossible to obtain for the majority of collectors. What must certainly have been an enormous denomination for the period, with this being the largest struck during the Mexican Revolution, this type would have instantly stood out to its contemporaries, not least due to the relative shortage of gold coinage struck at the time, and its general crudeness when it was minted. Bordering on gem, the surfaces of this example appear perfect buttercup-yellow with velvety tone and little evidence of handling, every element of the strike exceptionally bold and subsequently untouched. Absolutely outstanding for its size, preservation, and aesthetic appeal.
