GPT Description

The Mexico 1 Peso 1866 Mo is a fascinating and historically significant coin. It was minted in Mexico during the reign of Maximilian I, who was an Austrian archduke appointed as Emperor of Mexico by Napoleon III of France in 1864. Maximilian I's rule was short-lived and marked by political turmoil and opposition from Mexican nationalist forces. The coin features a portrait of Maximilian I on the obverse, with the denomination of 1 Peso and the year 1866 inscribed. The reverse typically displays the Mexican coat of arms. This particular coin is classified as KM# 388.1 and N# 7989, made of silver with a weight of 26.83 grams. The "Mo" mint mark indicates that it was minted in Mexico City. The coin's XF+ (extremely fine plus) condition suggests that it has minimal wear and retains most of its original detail, with nice toning adding to its aesthetic appeal. Owning a coin from this period provides a tangible connection to the tumultuous history of Mexico during the mid-19th century, making it a valuable and intriguing piece for collectors and enthusiasts of Mexican numismatics.
