Mexican Revolutionary Coinage: Sinaloa GB 406

Note: The Sinaloa un peso coinage was sand cast using various Ocho Reales and Un Peso coins as models. All of them are miserable in appearance - this one is no exception. The coin used for the mold for the Sinaloa peso below was an 1899 peso; the condition is too poor for me to make out the mintmark. The 1899 is barely visible on the bottom of the reverse.

Here is a second GB 406. The design is even harder to see on this coin.
