1847-Go PM Federal Republic of Mexico Gold 8 Escudos XF
Struck in the historic Guanajuato mint during a pivotal era in North American history, this 1847 gold coin represents the early federal coinage of Mexico. Minted with a purity of 0.875 gold, this substantial piece carries a face value of 8 Escudos. It survives today in Extra Fine condition, preserving the intricate details of its mid nineteenth century design. The obverse of the coin displays the classic national symbol of Mexico: a powerful eagle perched atop a cactus, grasping a snake in its beak. This iconic image represents the foundation and identity of the republic. On the reverse, a hand is depicted writing with a quill in an open book of law, with the pen itself topped by a liberty cap, symbolizing the guiding principles of freedom and justice. The inscriptions include the year 1847, the denomination 8E, and references to liberty and the law.
