The cause OF this advance Is as.

STRUCK BY EMPEROR
COINS MiNTED DURING MAxIMIL.
IAN's BRIEF REIGN.
Many Of Thorn Now command a Pre-

Foretold Fate of the Adven-
turer- The Facts.

The sale few days ago for S27 each
OF two specimens of the gold 2O-peso
Pieces coined for the unfortunate En-
peror Macmillan OF Mexico and dated
1865 brings attention TO an interesting
series OF coins which made their an
pearance In the brief period of the at
tempt TO establish a European mon
arch upon the throne of the Monte
Eunas.
VI course, one of the first acts of
MACMILLAN upon his accession To the
throne was the striking OF coins bear
Ing his portrait and title. The silver
coins were Of 5. 10 and % centavos
and 1 peso.
Inc copper coinage of Macmillan
consisted Of a single denomination
the one-centavo piece. The story was
generally circulated at one time that
only 70 pieces Of the 2O-pesos demon
nations were originally struck. This
statement has not been confirmed. but
II is TACT that the coin is scarce.
The first of the issues of Maxi
milan attracted notice because of the
statement that the engravers of the
pelces which show the emperor's bust
nave executed the design in such a
manner that by reversing the coin a
likeness of donkey was produced. II
requires q great deal of Imagination. fl
may be said. to work out such a re-
Semblance.
Ihere has been an impression that
all the coins of Macmillan are scarce
out this is not so. Great numbers of
them were struck, and as the Mexican
ooIlar had for many years been IA
Vorite form Of currency in the
orient millions Of such pieces found
their way to the eastern countries dur
Ing the reign Of Macmillan. The idea
that the one-peso piece was held at a
nigh premium may be accounted for
by the rumor in general circulation
about 1868 that the American govern
ment was buying up all the Maximil-
ian dollars at five dollars each.
There Is said to be one extremely
rare variety Of the one peso which
was struck at the Mexican City mint
In 1866. According to one story. the
first dies broke after 35 pieces had
been coined, and this number repre-
sented the age Of Macmillan when he
was shot. 1t was said also that one
Dali pierced his forehead at the exact
spot where a flaw appears in the die.
AS matter Of fact. says an expert
numismatist. a die did go to pieces
AFTER a few coins had been struck. and
the subsequent dies were Of far in.
ferior workmanship. The coins of the
hrst set are identified by the letters on
the inscription Of the diverse. which
are shorter than those on the usual H.
sues, and there is a depression in the
temple of the emperor's portrait.
