Fiesta Tuesday....
Hello everyone......
Well as I’ve been saying in my last several posts, I’m going to try my best to follow the tags that I started a while back and have not been very good with as of late.
It’s back.....
#fiestatuesday.....
And I’m going to start this one off with a BANG....
The coin I am sharing with you today is a 1944 Un Peso silver coin. This is one of my favorite circulated coins from Mexico. But this one isn’t circulated at all. Is a matter of fact it’s been graded as an MS64 by NGC.
Here are the specs on it:

The Mexican coat of arms: a Mexican golden eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus devouring a rattlesnake. The eagle, cactus and snake are surrounded by a holm oak (encina) branch on one side and a laurel branch on the other.
The head of the eagle and snake separates the purity (0.720). "ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS" over the coat of arms.
Lettering:
ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS

Translation: United Mexican States
