1861 Mexico 1/4 Real Sonora Hermosilla XF 40 BN

$249.99

Struck in the northern state of Sonora during the era of the Reform War and on the cusp of the French Intervention, this coin reflects a period when Mexico’s regions often struck their own circulating coinage to meet local needs. Hermosillo, located far from central authority, played a vital economic and military role on the northern frontier.

Small copper coins like the ¼ Real served everyday commerce in rural and remote regions and were often heavily circulated, making higher-grade survivors like this XF 40 rare and desirable.
