jfransch Pillar of the Community United States 1801 Posts	Posted 03/24/2012 12:12 am It is a private issue "silver round" or a counterfeit of a private issue silver round. It is not a Mexican coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 03/24/2012 02:25 am "Villa ZAPATA" ? wouldn't "Viva ZAPATA" make more sense ? Report this Post to the Staff
Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 03/24/2012 10:58 am It's refering to Pancho Villa..... The coin is certainly trying to imitate a real Mexican coin through the denticles. The color is weird. Report this Post to the Staff

dosmundos Valued Member Germany 194 Posts	Posted 03/29/2012 5:40 pm It is actually a one ounce pure silver bullion "coin" alluding to the two heroes (or villains, depending on your point of view) of the Mexican Revolution. If put up on ebay they usually do get sold at a little above spot. Report this Post to the Staff
swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 03/29/2012 11:03 pm Before selling it - make sure it is really silver. There are many non-silver, plated and debased forgeries of ounce rounds on the market. Report this Post to the Staff
