- MEXICO. 10 Centavos, 1864-G. Maximilian I. NGC MS-64. KM-386.1. More desirable mint mark. In late April of 1864, Maximilian stepped down from his position as the Chief of The Naval Section in Austria, and headed for Mexico with the implicit backing of Napoleon III of France. Arriving in Veracruz in late May that same year, there never was a "Camelot" or honeymoon period, with staunch resistance from liberal forces led by President Benito Juarez encountered as soon as he arrived. It stands to reason given his arrival in mid-year, that the coin offered here was struck at some point in the second half of 1864. Clearly a piece that was set aside when made, well struck and richly toned. A coin that rightfully belongs among other high grade examples from the brief reign of Mexico's uninvited emperor. Estimate: $500 - $700. Click here for certification details from NGC.
