MEXICO. Bronze 10 Pesos Pattern, 1869-Mo C. PCGS SPECIMEN-53.
KM-Pn120. Dated the year prior to circulating coinage, this adopted design pattern was evidently gilt during its production, and circulated alongside the gold issues of the realm for a good while. The result is remnants of golden brilliance around the protected designs, with deep brown coloration where it has worn off. VERY RARE as a type, and only the second we've seen, the other retaining full detail but surprisingly showing no evidence of having been previously gilt.
Estimate: $1000 - $2000
