Identification: This is a commemorative or 'fantasy' coin of the Second Mexican Empire, minted in 1865.
Features: The obverse depicts the portrait of Maximilian I of Habsburg, while the reverse features a crowned eagle with the inscription 'Imperio Mexicano 1865'.
Value: These coins are considered to have numismatic value rather than high intrinsic value for precious metal, as they contain a limited amount of gold (9k gold).
