Information on new find required !!

I have just picked up another token in France and i wondered if you all could help me with it seems to be an unlisted Variety

 

The coin is (probably) KM# 374.12 Mexican 2 Reales 1831 Struck at Zacatecas

Not totally sure on the exact due to the poor sellers pictures

 

on the reverse it is counter-stamped

 

ADMIT

TO (there seems to be AY also stamped)

WOOD's

MINSTRELS

444 Bd WAY

NY

 

the only one on a Mexican i have been able to find is a 1827 -Zs-AO which is a Coin variety because of the properly cut A and is given a $300 price tag..

Is this price because of the Coin or the counter-stamp ?

 

BUT! there are no other records of this stamping on a Mexican coin in the book i have ?

 

 

the token was picked up for a bargain price and with a little conservation should make a nice piece what do you think..? have in hit one or is it a near miss

 

i am still amazed at what is out there on eBay if you look hard enough (thumbs u

I can't help at all, but that coin has an extremely high coolness factor.
