MOZART Hobo Nickel Replica Coin - 1882 Mexican Eagle Silver Round Antique Collectible Token

About This Product

Coin collectors and history buffs, this MOZART Hobo Nickel replica is seriously cool! It's a reproduction of the classic 1882 Mexican Eagle silver dollar with that distinctive Hobo Nickel carving style that became popular during the Great Depression. Side A features the iconic Mexican eagle with outstretched wings symbolizing strength, plus the cactus (Mexico's national flower) and oak and laurel branches representing loyalty and peace. Side B shows the Phrygian cap (that freedom hat from the French Revolution) surrounded by 32 light pillars representing Mexico's original states. The craftsmanship is impressive - made with hydraulic metal molding that gives it that substantial, durable feel. It comes in a special collector's box at about 1.51 inches in diameter, so it's a nice substantial piece but not overwhelming. The antique finish makes each coin unique with that authentic aged look. Beyond just collecting, people use these as good luck tokens, conversation pieces, game pieces, or even unique jewelry components. It's a fascinating piece of history and art combined - the Hobo Nickel tradition started when homeless artists during the Depression would carve existing coins to trade for food and shelter. Now you get that same artistic vibe without damaging actual currency. Whether you're building a collection, looking for a meaningful gift, or just appreciate unique historical artifacts, this coin delivers both beauty and story in one package.
