Description
Astounding Representative of the Revolution's Largest Gold Coin
Oaxaca. Revolutionary gold 60 Pesos 1916 MS64+ PCGS, Oaxaca
mint, KM755, Fr-174, GB-379. Reeded edge. An immense offering, one
of Mexico's most iconic gold coinages and one whose popularity
makes it almost impossible to obtain for the majority of
collectors. What must certainly have been an enormous denomination
for the period, with this being the largest struck during the
Mexican Revolution, this type would have instantly stood out to its
contemporaries, not least due to the relative shortage of gold
coinage struck at the time, and its general crudeness when it was
minted. Bordering on gem, the surfaces of this example appear
perfect buttercup-yellow with velvety tone and little evidence of
handling, every element of the strike exceptionally bold and
subsequently untouched. Absolutely outstanding for its size,
preservation, and aesthetic appeal.Metal: Gold
Diameter: 39mm
Weight: 50g
AGW: 1.3808oz
