1861 | Mexico | 8 E | Hand on Book | MS62
Presenting an exceptional 1861 Mexico City "Hand on Book" Gold 8 escudo, a remarkable piece of history from the height of 19th-century Mexican coinage. Struck at the Mexico City Mint, this coin features the iconic "Hand on Book" design on the obverse, symbolizing knowledge and progress, while the reverse proudly displays Mexico's national emblem—an eagle perched on a cactus with a snake in its beak.
