| Additional information |
Wade-Ventures was a private minting operation active in the early 1970s, producing silver rounds at a moment when the U.S. had recently severed the dollar's last link to gold — August 1971 — and private bullion alternatives were gaining traction among collectors and hard-money advocates alike. The X# prefix in the Standard Catalog places this squarely among exonumia: not legal tender, not a fantasy issue, but a privately struck piece with no governmental authority behind it.
The "Mundinero" designation is specific to this Wade-Ventures series and does not appear in broader numismatic circulation as a recurring term.
