St. Joseph Museums

The coin features a slightly tarnished copper hue, suggestive of its age, and is embossed with the words "LIBERTAD" and "UN LA LEY" along its perimeter. At its center, a detailed design depicts a hand holding a cap atop a staff, possibly a symbol linked to liberty or freedom. The lower part of the coin bears the inscription "C.1850.G.F.210," hinting at its minting year and potentially the region or mint mark. The coin's edge is decorated with fine ridges, adding to its intricate craftsmanship and historical allure.
