The reverse carries a facing portrait of José María Morelos, one of the principal leaders of the Mexican War of Independence. The issue was struck in .720 fine silver and contains approximately .6428 troy ounce of actual silver. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGraded AU-58, this example remains extremely close to Mint State. The coin retains strong original mint luster across most of the fields, with only slight friction visible on the highest points of Morelos’ portrait and the raised elements of the national arms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe portrait remains sharply defined, with clear facial features, hair detail and clothing folds.
