Comment

Rare mule type combining the obverse die of the 10 Centavos and reverse 1 Centavo .

Despite the monetary law of 1879, these coins weighed 3g rather than 4.5g.

Interesting fact

This error has made the coin highly sought after by collectors, increasing its value and making it a prized addition to any collection.
