In 1907 the Paris mint was commissioned by the Diaz government to prepare designs for the new commemorative coinage. The contract was given to Pillet who initially design the 1907 50 Centavos pattern as well as 1908 and 1909 Peso patterns. Minting equipment was received in April 1909 consisting of master dies, punches and edge milling devices, but it wasn't until January 1910 that production began. For some unknown reason the 50 Centavos was never placed into full production and remains a pattern only issue.
Estimate: $7000.00- $10000.00
