Mexican Revolutionary Coinage: Durango - City of Durango GB 117 Copy

This is a remarkable piece fabricated by Erma Stevens, which she made since she could never find one.  She made aluminum foil rubbings of a coin from a friend, then she filled each one with some liquid solution that hardened..  She cleaned up each half and cemented them together.  The first two pictures show the aluminum foil "coin" by itself. The second two pictures show the fabrication more clearly.
