Looking in the book. 2012 North American Coins and prices.

This looks like this is Mexico revolutionary coinage state of Durango. There are several versions of the coin. Lowest value in VG is $2, but another version shows $75. Looking I don't easily tell which version you have.

Really neat find! :thumbup:
Silver Monometalism is the most permanent and stable form of money the world has seen. Natural law and history prove silver value is best multiplied by gold and best divided by copper. It is only in this counterfeit currency time when the natural law appears suspended.

Seriously though. Pancho Villa, pictured above, was from Durango. This may be a piece of privately minted revolutionary coin.
Villa's success came from the fact that he was able to secure his fiat currency, which was as good as gold, at face value. He backed it up with real metal, mostly silver and copper.

Interesting piece.
