1861 Mexico Centavo Campeche Local Issue NGC VF 25

CVC & Collectables presents this scarce 1861 Mexico Centavo, struck as a local issue in the city of Campeche during a period of political fragmentation and regional autonomy in 19th-century Mexico. Certified VF25 by NGC, this copper coin is a sought-after example of provincial Mexican coinage, featuring distinct local characteristics that set it apart from federally issued types.
