That is not the regular Mexico (Aztec) eagle, and I was sure that alone would prove this is not a coin from Mexico. However, I am pleased to report that indeed Mexico did use an eagle with outspread wings like that on a coin from 1822 (but not from 1823).</font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Comic Sans MS">However, as desertgem mentioned, Mexico currency coins always have the denomination on them, often abreviated such as &quot;8 R&quot; for eight reales.</font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Comic Sans MS">Below is a scan of a page from one of my Mexico books, the book of which carries no copyright notice, probably because it is a catalog. It shows an eagle similar to yours with outspread wings, and the more common Aztec/Mexican eagle.</font></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]110782.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
