10 Pesos Zacatecas - Silver Proof Issue

Zacatecas state was the site of a pivotal June 1914 battle in which Pancho Villa's División del Norte overwhelmed a federal garrison — one of the most decisive engagements of the Mexican Revolution. This coin belongs to a Banco de México proof series commemorating the individual states, each issued in limited quantities targeting collector markets rather than circulation. The Zacatecas issue draws specifically on the state's identity as the silver-mining heartland of colonial New Spain, a region whose output once funded the Spanish crown's imperial ambitions across two hemispheres.
