Looks like the product of mixed dies, but Reverse has a detail that makes them different.Interesting fact
The ½ Real coin from the State of Oaxaca, made of copper, is a rare and valuable piece due to its historical significance. It was minted during the Mexican War of Independence, specifically in 1813, when the state of Oaxaca was under the control of insurgent forces fighting against the Spanish colonial rule. The coin's design features the iconic image of a serpent devouring a bird, which symbolizes the struggle for independence and the triumph of the insurgents over the Spanish colonial powers. Its rarity and historical importance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and historians interested in Mexican history.
