Comment

These coins are commonly known as "wedding coins". The Mexican bride receives 13 gold coins from her fiancé as proof that he accepts her for life and that he will be a good, hard-working and devoted husband.
By accepting these coins, the bride swears to be a faithful wife. These coins were therefore created so that the tradition could continue in modern times. They contain about 0.5 g of gold ranging from 14 to 22 carats. They are of course not coins from 1865
