Comment
NOTE: Not to be confused with the KM#403.7 Over-dated 1869/8. This one has no over-dating. It was probably made at the end of Emperor Maximilian I era once the Republic was coming back alive, and was surely the base for the later KM#403, with the original die being then turned into a 1869 making this original date very rare.Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Centavos coin from Mexico, made of Silver (.903) and weighing 2.707g, is considered a rare and valuable collector's item. Its unique design and historical significance make it a sought-after piece among numismatists.
