Good afternoon, folks!

Had someone approach me about this coin, but I have no idea as I don't mess with Republic issues, minors or errors of that series.

It appears to be a reverse legend error where R was mistakenly punched where B should have been, making the legend REPURLICA.

Any thoughts about this coin? Info? Much appreciated.

Fascinating. My sense is that it is genuine. The highly incuse word on the cap worries me but Zacatecas did some weird stuff.

Thank you, Westwood.

Last night I did find another example that sold at the 2011 Stack's Baltimore sale.

Sounds like Scooby Doo pronouncing it: REPUBRICA. The word is a repunched mess...

Very nice early date 2R! I like it. As previously mentioned there are quite a few with messed up punches for Republica Mexicana.
