MEXICO. Oaxaca. Revolutionary Trial Strike, 1915. VERY FINE.
GB-Not listed. Weight: 11.62 gms. This highly unusual numismatic relic is quite the oddity consisting of a mule between the obverse die of the 5 Centavos(GB-303)/10 Pesos(GB-374) (both share the same obverse die) combined with the central hub design from the 2 Pesos (GB-361/67). Though NGC declined to certify this interesting item as "Ineligible Type", after much study and comparison we are confident in the legitimacy of this strange issue. Upon close inspection and study of this piece both sides appear to have been struck at the same time as both sides are strong and neither side is exceptional flat in the centers. Truly a fantastic item with pleasing rich patina that is sure to pique the interest of even the most advanced of collectors.
Estimate: $150 - $300
