The coin is presented in an ICG holder labeled Genuine, indicating its origin from a specific shipwreck or hoard discovery, which often results in the distinct environmental surface texture seen on this piece.

Condition: This coin is graded as ICG Genuine, meaning it is verified as a genuine issue but may possess environmental effects or surface conditions that preclude a numeric grade. The surfaces exhibit heavy toning and localized encrustation consistent with its attribution to a treasure hoard. The strike type is a standard business strike. This 1950 50 Centavos piece was minted in Mexico City (Mo) and is composed of .300 fine silver. Historically, this Cuauhtémoc design represents a period in Mexican numismatics where silver content was being adjusted due to fluctuating bullion prices. The coin features the last Aztec Emperor, Cuauhtémoc, on the reverse and the Mexican national coat of arms on the obverse. This specific item is part of the ICG World Coin Treasure Hoard pedigree.
