1916 Mexico Gold 60 Pesos Oaxaca Overstruck on an Earlier 8 Escudos Hand on Book Type

This 1916 60 Pesos was overstruck on an 8 Escudos from an earlier century. There is a considerable amount of detail remaining from the understrike.

There are two possibilities. Either this is a spectacular Die Trial or Major Mint Error, or a deliberately created rarity by striking an 8 Escudos with the original dies used for the 1916 60 Pesos.

A fascinating and dramatic numismatic rarity.

This is one of the most spectacular major mint errors of all time. It is a 1965 English Penny struck on a gold planchet weighing 18.3 grams instead of being struck on a copper planchet.
