Vulcanite (left) and lead (right) tokens Issued by Hacienda El Progreso


Description:
Tokens, specific to particular businesses for local circulation had become widespread by the mid-19th century. Excavated specimens included a crude lead token (right), marked “MC”, and struck only on one side that Bognoly and Espinosa claim had a five centavo value, as did the bakelite token (left).
