Description:
Obverse
Coin mint called "de balancín" (of sway), used in Mexico City Mint to make their first coins. This device uses the rotation of a pole on top with weight on a side to get enough speed to force a spiral down and mint the coin (later updated to use steam and then electric motor but the method was the same).
With legend on top-right. Date at bottom left
Reverse
Scale as center piece. With ounce weight in legend around. Fineness at top-left. Weight in grams at center bottom, and mint under.
