MEXICO. Silver "Caballito Peso" Token, "1907". ANACS MS-70.
A Dan Carr production from the Moonlight Mint, with a modern imitation of the famous 'Caballito' design, overstruck on an original 1910-13 Peso planchet. The date of 1907 was chosen as it was the first year that this design appeared on a coin, albeit only on the 50 Centavos. As such this coin is considered to be a 'fantasy date overstrike'. The strike and preservation are flawless, with soft luster throughout and not a hint of toning. While the obverse was aligned perfectly with the design on the original coin, a slight rotation of the reverse can be seen in the fields and peripheral legend. Overall this fantasy is a beautiful tribute to one of the most collectible type coins from Mexico.
From the Allan Schein Collection.
Estimate: $500.00- $700.00
