HoosierDaddy Pillar of the Community United States 1164 Posts	Posted 01/11/2013 5:01 pm Did I get this wrong? I read another piece of info that the mule was the obverse. Can someone give me their opinion if this reverse matches the reverse of the 1 Peso gold coin? Thanks guys. Report this Post to the Staff
Westwood Arms Pillar of the Community United States 685 Posts	Posted 01/21/2013 4:04 pm Officially, by Mexican law, the obverse is the side that says Rebublica Mexicana (eagle side on this coin). A lot of people get this backwards and it is a point of confusion. The eagle side (obverse) of this coin is that of the gold peso. This 5 c was minted in Alamos and is in pretty good shape. My guess is $100 value. I would be pleasantly surprised if anyone knew how many were minted. Report this Post to the Staff
Westwood Arms Pillar of the Community United States 685 Posts	Posted 01/21/2013 4:19 pm I take that back. I pulled out a reference and Buttrey and Hubbard have the mintage at 12,289. Value might be closer to $200. Report this Post to the Staff
