1971 Mexico Un Peso Morelos Silver Coin Lot
1971 Mexico Un Peso Morelos Copper-Nickel Coin Lot
This lot features the 1971 Mexico Un Peso coin, known as the Morelos Peso. The obverse displays the Mexican Coat of Arms, featuring an eagle perched on a cactus devouring a snake, surrounded by the inscription Estados Unidos Mexicanos. The reverse showcases the left-facing portrait of revolutionary leader José María Morelos, with the denomination Un Peso and the Mo mint mark representing the Mexico City Mint. These coins are composed of copper-nickel, as 1971 falls after the transition from silver coinage for this denomination. Both pieces exhibit circulated details with natural toning and wear consistent with their age, making them a classic addition to any collection of world currency or Latin American numismatics.

Condition: These coins exhibit circulated characteristics, showing noticeable surface wear, small scratches, and contact marks consistent with age and handling. The details on the portrait of Jose Maria Morelos and the Mexican coat of arms remain visible but have softened over time. There is visible dark toning and accumulation of debris in the recessed areas of the design. These are business strike coins produced at the Mexico City Mint (Mo) and are composed of copper-nickel. Historically, this 1971 issue is part of the Morelos series of the Mexican Peso, which transitioned from silver to base metal in 1970. The coins are ungraded and presented in raw, circulated condition.
