willieboyd2 Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 San Francisco Mint 1949 restrike of Mexico 1898 Peso In 1949 the US San Francisco Mint restruck 2,000,000 copies of a Mexico Peso dated 1898 for use in China. Here is my web page about these coins: (http://home.earthlink.net/~brianrxm/post/mexsf_w.htm) Mexico 1898 Peso I believe that there were some previous posts here in 2004 about this coin.

28Plain Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Cool. The US mint also struck some of the Chinese 'junk dollars" (the ones with the sailing junk backed by the portrait of Sun Yat-Sen) with the Chinese dies for ol' Chiang's paymasters. I've never done the research to see whether the bullion came from US Treasury holdings, but have assumed that it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
