1866-Go Guanajuato Peso

A Numismatic Rarity that Captivates Collectors

The 1866-Go Guanajuato Maximilian Peso is a prized possession for numismatists, particularly due to its limited mintage and historical significance. This rare and splendid coin is a testament to the enthralling legacy of Emperor Maximilian's reign.

History

Struck during this turbulent period, the 1866 Guanajuato Maximiliano Peso is a numismatic testament to the ephemeral imperial ambitions in Mexico.

Guanajuato was the first place to mint the new imperial peso because there was no local Congress opposition as in Mexico City. Silver production had severe issues in Guanajuato in the 1860s, so few coins were minted.

Assayers: Sebastián Navalón, Cayetano Ocampo, and Antonio Spíritu.

Mintage: Unknown.
