<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 1105322, member: 15445&quot;]My new coin is from Oaxaca Mexico.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oaxaca is one of the southern states in Mexico &amp; the provisional government issued coins in the state.&nbsp; Many Oaxaca coins (like this 2 peso coin) include the bust of Benito Juarez on the obverse.&nbsp; This 2 peso is interesting to me because the obverse was struck with a smaller obverse die originally intended for making 1 peso coins.&nbsp; This 2 Peso is 30 mm diameter which puts it very close to the size of a USA 50 cent piece.&nbsp; You can see in the photo that the obverse appears to be struck with a die possibly intended for a smaller coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
