Comments
Replica of N# 63358 
(modified design).
Word “SOUVENIR” was used on original “Peso Souvenir” from 1897, owing to that coin was minted in the U. S., to finance independence movement from Spain; mint refused to mint coins to finance campaign against a friend country of the U. S. (Spain), therefore using “Souvenir” would make to look as medal.
