$499.99

The Caballito Peso, designed by Charles Pillet, represents a pinnacle of Mexican numismatic artistry. Issued during the final year of the Porfirio Díaz era, 1911 marks a critical turning point as Mexico entered the early stages of the Revolution. The dynamic image of Liberty on horseback symbolizes progress and national strength during a time of political transformation.

The Short-Ray variety is a recognized subtype, distinguished by the length of the sun rays beneath the horse—adding an extra layer of interest for specialists.
