Description

MEXICO. Gold Medallic Caballito Peso, "1907". Moonlight (Dan Carr) Mint. ANACS MS-70.

Mintage: 12. A Dan Carr production from the Moonlight Mint, with a modern imitation of the famous 'Caballito' design, overstruck on an 1947 Gold 50 Peso planchet. With the consultation of Allan Schein--author of Mexican Beauty/Belleza Mexicana - Un Peso Caballito this incredible modern fantasy came to life. The date of 1907 was chosen as it was the first year that this design appeared on a coin, albeit only on the 50 Centavos. As such this coin is considered to be a 'fantasy date overstrike'. The strike and preservation are flawless, with soft luster throughout and not a hint of toning. Overall this is a beautiful tribute to one of the most collectible type coins from Mexico.
