| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse displays the national arms of Mexico as used on the 1 Peso series (KM#409) from 1901 to 1905. A Mexican golden eagle, facing left, perches upon a prickly pear cactus growing from a rocky outcrop surrounded by water, with a serpent grasped in its beak and talons — the central motif of the Mexican coat of arms derived from Aztec legend. Laurel and oak branches frame the lower portion of the design, and a beaded inner border encircles the entire composition. The legend REPUBLICA MEXICANA arcs along the upper periphery in Latin script. |

In 1967, fed up with being administered from Saint Kitts with virtually no economic development to show for it, Anguillans expelled the Saint Kitts police force and declared independence — an act so improbable it is sometimes called the "Bay of Piglets." The provisional government needed currency immediately and had none, so it improvised: Mexican pesos from the 1901–1905 series were counterstamped and pressed into service. The host coins were decades old by then, already retired from Mexican circulation.
Britain eventually responded not with sanctions but with a near-comedic "invasion" of 300 paratroopers in 1969, finding no resistance whatsoever.
