Morning everyone....

I hope everyone is having a good day. It’s gonna be a beautiful day here in the northeast today. Mid 70’s with plenty of sunshine.

Today I am going to post in my #fiestatuesday tag. As I’ve stated I’m trying to get back to posting in the tags I created awhile back.

I am going to share a very old gold Mexican coin. How old you might be asking? Well it’s over one hundred years old.

The coin is a 1920 Dos Peso gold coin. It’s just under two grams which isn’t a ton of gold, but it’s a cool coin and I own it.

Coin Specs:

Period United Mexican States (1905-date)
Type Standard circulation coin Years 1919-1948 Value 2 Pesos (2 MXP) Currency Peso (1905-1992) Composition Gold (.900) Weight 1.666 g Diameter 13 mm Shape Round Orientation Coin alignment ↑↓ Demonetized Yes References KM# 461 Obverse Mexican eagle eating a snake on a cactus with wreath below and legend above

Here is the coin.

Happy Fiesta Tuesday
