Likely not. That issue is not rare. No one knows without seeing pics, but odds are long enough it's probably not worth posting them. In VF it books for US$0.60, which means it's really worth about a dime from a collecting standpoint. It has no face value, as it was demonetized in 1995.

This it ? ...If you simply put that same info in NGC search parameters you can get the same info. It's a great tool for looking things up especially when no images are provided....and it will be pesos not U.S. dollar symbol. https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/mexico-estados-unidos-mexicanos-20-pesos-km-508-1985-1990-cuid-1116311-duid-1418319 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It threw me as well when I first got into world coins. The number of currency symbols out there is amazing. Greenland 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenHolcomb Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Well I'm gonna have to look into these symbols. Thanks for educating me to them. I usually go to en.numista.com because I wasn't aware the our Host had such a area for review and because it is a very easy site to navigate for just about any Coin I've had occasion to look up.
