Spanish
Cob Coins
Mexico City Cob coins were minted at the Mexico City mint from 1536
through 1733, when they were replaced by the machine struck milled
pillar dollar that first saw production in 1732. The Mexico mint was
the first to produce hand struck cobs starting with the pillars type cob
(1536-1572) and ending with the shield type cob (1572-1733). Unlike
the other New World mints, the Mexico mint never produced a
pillars-and-waves cob, but did strike a hybrid transitional "klippe"
or "square-cut" type in 1733 and 1734. Dates first
appeared on Mexico cobs in 1607, but are seldom visible.
Certificates
of Authenticity accompany all Mexico Cob Coins. |
