This uncirculated example shows clear details in Morelos's features and the intricate feathers of the Mexican eagle. 1981 Mexico Un Peso Jose Maria Morelos Cupro-Nickel Coin Lot Condition: These coins exhibit signs of heavy circulation, including significant surface wear, scratches, and various contact marks across both the obverse and reverse.
