<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 26863, member: 669&quot;]Let me be among the first to welcome you to the forum Bill.</p><p><br /></p><p>Krause does list a 100 peso aluminum-bronze coin - KM#493 - with Mr. Carranza&#039;s facial hair prominently displayed on the <i>reverse</i>.&nbsp; The 1988 mintage is given as 433.1-million.&nbsp; The obverse displays the country name, and the commonly used Mexican national arms, a dragon holding a serpent, which is probably what you identified as a &quot;gryphon&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>The catalog value is 30¢ VF, 50¢ XF, $2 Unc. and $2.75 BU in the current Krause.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since they revoked my mind-reading license a few years ago, I don&#039;t express opinions on whether something I haven&#039;t seen is real or not, but my guess is that it is, since coins of that value are rarely counterfeited. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
