With a small suspension hole. EF. François de Bassompierre (1579–1646) was an important French nobleman, diplomat, and military commander of the early 17th century. As a member of the aristocracy and a close confidant of King Louis XIII, he played a significant role in France’s political and military affairs. Bassompierre distinguished himself through his diplomatic abilities and was involved in negotiations and peace processes, including those connected with the Thirty Years’ War. Despite his military successes, he later fell into conflict with the government and was imprisoned in 1626. He was subsequently released. His career was marked by his service to the French Crown and his ability to operate successfully in both military and diplomatic spheres. He is particularly remembered for his Memoirs, which provide valuable insights into the political and military developments of his time and the complex balance of power in early modern Europe.

Produced within the early stages of mechanized coin production in central Europe--first conceived in Augsburg around 1550 and the roller press permanently adopted by the Hall mint in 1567--this offering serves as an embodiment of this new, incredible technology, and Maximilian's use of milling techniques to produce the first emissions of his reign was simply ingenious.

622 - Mexico. Revolutionary issue. Guerrero. 2 Pesos 1914. KM 643. EL. 22.43 g. 39 mm. Light patina. Striking weakness, otherwise. good EF. On most coins of the Revolutionary period, the term “ORO” (gold) was not used to indicate fineness, but rather the actual quantity of gold, expressed in grams, contained in the alloy. Thus, an “ORO 0.595” does not indicate a gold fineness of 59.5%. Rather, it specifies that the silver alloy contains 595 milligrams of gold. This was intended to ensure that the coin retained a certain intrinsic value, as gold offered greater stability in value. However, producing a 0.900-fine gold coin with such a small quantity of gold was impractical. The most effective solution was therefore to strike a large silver coin incorporating the specified gold content, thereby combining the stability of gold with the practicality of a substantial silver coin.
