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.

Certified by NGC in Mint State 62 condition, this coin stands out with its sharp details, lustrous finish, and exceptional preservation. Coins of this caliber and historical significance are increasingly scarce, making it a prized addition for collectors of world gold and historical coinage alike.  Amazingly, only 15 are certified in all, with this being one of two in MS62 and none are known finer.

Containing .7616 ounces of pure gold, the 1861 "Hand on Book" 8 Escudo combines impressive craftsmanship with tangible intrinsic value. Offered for sale exclusively at Austin Rare Coins & Bullion, this coin is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Mexico's rich numismatic heritage.
