Maximilian Peso Converted into a Pocket Watch 1866-Mo VF, Mexico City mint, cf. KM388.1 (for type). 37mm. 40.86gm. A most intriguing curiosity piece, with the center of the reverse arms removed to reveal a small metal clock face. The mechanism itself appears to still be functioning, with a small ticking sound still audible.
