Replica of a 1910 Peso

in #steemsilvergold • 6 years ago
Sometimes one comes across a replica of a famous coin, and this is one example. This isn't an actual silver peso, but a silver-plated brass replica, clearly marked as such by the seller. I bought it because it was cheap and still pretty, even though not an "authentic" vintage coin.

The obverse (front) features a seated female figure on a horse with the rays of the sun in the background.

The reverse features the national arms of Mexico — an eagle, devouring a rattlesnake.

The detail is lovely! One day, perhaps I will find a good deal on an actual vintage peso such as this, made from 0.9030 silver! Until then, I will enjoy this replica.

This is also a good opportunity to caution readers that some sellers do not clearly state that their items are replicas, and try to pass them as valuable items. Always read the fine print!

      I do, and have several pieces of actual silver — this was just one oddball thing I got. 🙂

          Cool piece. Are you sure it's a replica? Usually it will be stamped copy or something to that effect. Either way, nice score!

            @vgholdingsllc ~ Yes, the seller's page on eBay stated that it was a "decorative item" of silver-plated brass. But I thought it was such a cool looking item, and only a couple of dollars, so I got it! Thanks for confirming it's a nice score! I appreciate your comment! 😊
