下次去墨西哥旅行时值得寻找的 5 枚有价值的硬币

最有价值的墨西哥硬币将是从 16 世纪早期到 1821 年墨西哥独立期间西班牙殖民时期铸造的硬币。

If you’re planning a trip south of the border any time soon, Mexico might be in your sights, thanks to its majestic landscape, rich culture and one-of-a-kind cuisine.

如果您近期计划去边境以南旅行，墨西哥可能会在您的视线之内，因为它有雄伟的风景、丰富的文化和独一无二的美食。

But did you also know that some Mexican coins are incredibly valuable, some worth hundreds of thousands of dollars? It’s true. You just have to know exactly what you are looking for.

但您是否也知道一些墨西哥硬币非常有价值，有些价值数十万美元？这是真的。您只需要确切地知道您在寻找什么。

“The most valuable Mexican coins are going to be ones that were minted during the Spanish colonial era from the earlier part of the 16th century up until Mexican Independence in 1821,” said Sam Totty of Santa Monica Jewelry. “Especially coins minted during the earliest part of this time period have historically fetched the most at auction.”

“最有价值的墨西哥硬币将是从 16 世纪早期到 1821 年墨西哥独立期间西班牙殖民时期铸造的硬币，”圣莫尼卡珠宝公司的 Sam Totty 说道。 “特别是在这一时期早期铸造的硬币历来在拍卖会上卖得最高。”

As Totty explained, “A key component with the value of rare coins is not only rarity, but the condition of the coin. Coins are graded on a scale up to MS70 being the highest (this stands for Mint State 70). A MS70 coin is in perfect condition.”

正如托蒂解释的那样，“稀有硬币价值的一个关键因素不仅在于稀有性，还在于硬币的状况。硬币的等级最高可达 MS70（这代表铸币厂 70）。一枚 MS70 硬币完好无损。”

So, whether you are planning a trip for business or pleasure, make sure the next time you are in Mexico you keep your eyes peeled for these coins. Because if you come across them, you could find yourself very rich.

因此，无论您是计划商务旅行还是休闲旅行，请确保下次您在墨西哥时留意这些硬币。因为如果你遇到他们，你会发现自己非常富有。

Rob Oberth, President of RoundTable Trading, added, “These coins offer a tangible link to a pivotal moment in Mexican history. They were used to finance the revolution and circulated during a period of great uncertainty. Owning one is like owning a piece of that history.”

RoundTable Trading 总裁 Rob Oberth 补充道：“这些硬币与墨西哥历史上的关键时刻有着切实的联系。它们被用来资助革命，并在充满不确定性的时期流通。拥有一个就像拥有一段历史。”

Here are five valuable Mexican coins to look out for on your next trip, according to coin experts.

硬币专家表示，您下次旅行时需要留意以下五种有价值的墨西哥硬币。

When it comes to a Mexican coin known as the Revolutionary Period Mexico Peso, it could be worth anywhere from a couple hundred dollars to thousands depending on the condition its in.

当谈到一枚被称为革命时期墨西哥比索的墨西哥硬币时，它的价值可能从几百美元到数千美元不等，具体取决于其状况。

Totty has particular experience with one of these coins assessed to be very close to mint condition.

托蒂对其中一枚经评估非常接近完好状态的硬币有特殊的经验。

“…I saw a 1914 Revolutionary Period Mexico Peso in MS63 condition that sold at auction some time ago for somewhere in the ballpark of $35,000,” Totty recalled. “You can find the same coin in a much lower grade right now for $250 on eBay. Same coin, very different condition.”

“……我看到一枚 1914 年革命时期的墨西哥比索，状态为 MS63，不久前在拍卖会上以 35,000 美元左右的价格售出，”托蒂回忆道。 “现在你可以在 eBay 上以 250 美元的价格找到等级低得多的同一款硬币。同样的硬币，状况却截然不同。”

Oberth noted that these pesos are “relatively rare and can be quite valuable, especially in uncirculated condition.”

奥伯特指出，这些比索“相对稀有，而且非常有价值，尤其是在未流通的情况下。”

While perhaps not the highest on the grading scale — NGC AU55 — this War of Independence insurgent coin is hard to find, yet much sought after by coin collectors.

虽然 NGC AU55 可能不是评级最高的硬币，但这款独立战争叛乱硬币很难找到，但却深受硬币收藏家的追捧。

They are part of a line of coinage minted after a “Supreme National Junta” was established at Zitacuaro in Michoacán in August 1811. These Zitacuaro 8-Reales are historic for marking the first time an eagle and cactus appear on Mexican currency, which would become iconic imagery in the years to follow.

它们是 1811 年 8 月在米却肯州锡塔夸罗 (Zitacuaro) 建立“最高国家军政府”后铸造的一系列硬币的一部分。这些锡塔夸罗 8 雷亚尔硬币具有历史意义，因为它标志着鹰和仙人掌首次出现在墨西哥货币上，后来成为墨西哥货币接下来几年的标志性图像。

According to Coin Value Checker, “only three known examples of the 8 Reales struck at the Zitacuaro mint exist. These examples were found in a shipwreck and were later put on auction.

根据 Coin Value Checker 的说法，“Zitacuaro 铸币厂铸造的 8 枚雷亚尔硬币仅存在 3 枚。这些例子是在沉船中发现的，后来被拍卖。

“A collector owns one example, while the second one was sold at a Heritage auction for $373,750. The last one is still on sale, estimated at $200,000 to $250,000. This last remaining piece is graded Extra Fine (EF) 40 by the Numismatic Guaranty Company.”

“一位收藏家拥有一件样品，而第二件则在 Heritage 拍卖会上以 373,750 美元的价格售出。最后一件仍在售，估价20万至25万美元。最后剩下的这件作品被钱币担保公司评为 Extra Fine (EF) 40。”

These historic Zitacuaro coins are now over 200 years old and often make the list of some of the most valuable Mexican coins by today’s standards.

这些历史悠久的 Zitacuaro 硬币已有 200 多年的历史，按照今天的标准，它们经常跻身最有价值的墨西哥硬币之列。

如果您正在寻找一枚达到“宝石品质”级别的墨西哥硬币，您会想要寻找皇家 8-Escudos，1714 年，NGC MS65，它既珍贵又稀有。

它的评级使其成为宝石，通过使用策划的模具在板坯上通常被称为“演示罢工”的皇家硬币，增加了其地位和价值。

The unconfirmed backstory to the Royal 8-Escudos coins’ production is said to be linked to the wedding ceremony and royal marriage of Philip V, King of Spain and Elizabeth Farnese’s.

据称，皇家 8 埃斯库多硬币的生产未经证实的背景故事与西班牙国王菲利普五世和伊丽莎白·法尔内塞的婚礼和王室婚姻有关。
