    I just got this from European auction and rather like it although with slightly subdued lustre and soft strike on obverse. Any comments?

    The fields remarkably free of hairlines, rub or defects.

    very hard to show on iPhone 11S

    Nice! I've seen the 1897 peso issue. I didn't know there was a previous issue. Looks like the same weight, just yours has a much higher silver content!
