<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hotwheelsearl, post: 3208820, member: 75143&quot;]Keeping on my Mexican theme, here&#039;s a crisp Bank of Hidalgo 1 Peso. This appears to be an unissued remainder, as I was unable to find any circulated examples of this note.</p><p>I paid around $13 for this.</p><p>Using the Mexican silver peso as a benchmark, this is worth the equivalent of about $28 in 2018 values.</p><p><br /></p><p>This note is, unlike most Mexican issues of the time, small size instead of large size. which is a shame, really.</p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse features a cool mining scene, with not one but <i>three</i> miners, outdoing the Chihuahuan 5 Peso by two miners.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]832567[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse features...somebody... with not much else of interest going on on the back.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]832569[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>For me, the obverse mining engraving makes the note. It&#039;s an entire work of art instead of just a head, which I think is awesome.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
