St. Joseph Museums

The image shows an 1837 Mexican coin with a detailed depiction of an eagle on its face, grasping a snake in its beak and talons, set against a textured surface that provides visual contrast. The coin is circular with a serrated edge, exhibiting signs of age with visible discoloration and wear that enhance its historical appeal. Surrounding the eagle are inscriptions, some of which appear to be handwritten or stamped post-production in red and black ink, possibly marking its value or a separate annotation, emphasizing its light gold or brass color.
