Mexican Coins

[TomD]

I notice that this site, despite the name, is primarily politically oriented rather than gold and silver but maybe a couple of you appreciate Mexican stuff.

Ok, what is the significance of the skeleton on the horse?

It's kinda creepy.

I love the first coin, that one must have been a pain in the ass to create with all those tiny symbols

I always wanted the one kilo Aztec calendar

TomD- I remember you from GIM. Your photos are excellent. Thanks for sharing them. I have a few Onzas, and like them a lot. I hope Hugo Salinas Price's project works out (http://www.gold-silver.us/monetized_silver.html).

I think the image is amusing, funny in a way. Actually the artist, J. G. Posada, was born in 1852 and was interesting in his own way and quite worth a google.

Me too but those things are pricey! This only is only 2 oz but cost me over $100 when silver was a bunch cheaper than it is now.
