THESE 2 CROWNS ARE IN A RED LEATHER WALLET WITH THE PAPER WORK. THEY ARE 5 PESOS PIECES AND ONLY EVER PRODUCED IN 1947 AND 1948. THEY WERE STRUCK IN MEXICO CITY ONLY FOR BOTH THOSE YEARS."CUAUHTEMOC", BORN 1495 AND DIED 1522 IS ON THE OBVERSE IN HIS FULL HEAD DRESS AS THE VERY LAST AZTEC EMPIRE KING. THESE VERY HANDSOME .900 SILVER CROWNS TYPIFIES THE COINERS ART AT THE BEST. THE REVERSE SHOWS THE NATIONAL ARMS OF MEXICO WITH THE EAGLE ON A CACTUS WITH A SNAKE IN ITS BEAK. WEIGHING 30.5 GRAMS EACH WITH A DIAMETER OF 40MM THEY HAVE AN ACTUAL SILVER WEIGHT OF 0.8320 GRAMS EACH. THE 1947 IS THE RAREST AND HARDEST TO OBTAIN, IS IN EF+ CONDITION, BUT THE 1948 IS IN REMARKABLE BU UNCIRCULATED CONDITION, STRAIGHT FROM THE MINT. i HAVE HAD THESE FOR MANY YEARS AND ONLY JUST DECIDED TO PART WITH THEM. EXTREMELY HARD TO OBTAIN, ESPECIALLY IN OWN WALLET WITH THE PAPER WORK.
i WILL POP UP A PICTURE OF THE 1948 IN THE INTERIM, AND AS i OBTAIN THE BEST PICTURE AVAILABLE OF THE BOTH COINS AND WALLET WITH PAPERWORK, WILL PUT THEM UP. gOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BIDDING, WITH THE START BID QUITE LOW IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES, TO DRAW IN SERIOUS COLLECTORS.
