Mexican 1 Peso coin 1914

Hi

I haven't been able to find this (crude) Mexican civil war coin online. Can anyone tell me anything about it ?




30mm
5grams (aprox)
Non-magnetic
I don't know if it's silver or not.

  I think a fake ...

• 1  you haven't been able to find it
  

• 2  too crude, like you say
  

• 3  spelling errors - should be ESTADOS not ESTADS and UNIDOS not UNIDS
  

The hole was added later.  

 I found (with pictures) where one was sold for $20 and was silver. The sixth item down the page ...

 Here is another, but with differences (correct spelling but amended lettering positions, and no snake) - it sold for 5 Euro and was described as a copper-nickel token ...

Whoa 20 $ ? I paid 3 $ for it. The melt value here is about 4 $ tho.
How else can i tell if it's silver or not ? Shouldn't copper-nickel be magnetic ?

I found this link about my coin:

Can anyone translate what is being discussed ?

And about the crudeness of the design, i thought that if this https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces35571.html is a legit coin design maybe mine could be real too !

The alloy of copper nickel is not magnetic.
Nickel is magnetic.

Oh crap!

You know, the most frustrating thing about this coin is that i just wanted an old (non-silver) mexican coin, i didn't really want anything fancy, rare or expensive !

P.S. Imminent site maintenance incoming  

Probably slot machine token.
The hole was not added later on my coin.


Pale imitation of the Mexico-Revolutionary DURANGO Peso KM# 621 - 1914

Very similar!
But mine looks really old (to me anyway). Did they have such slot machines that old ?

I Didn't find anything more on the web ...
the mystery remains unsolved
