What is the error on the Emiliano Zapata 20 peso coin?
The Emiliano Zapata 20 peso commemorative coin was not minted with a generalized official error, but some minting errors have been detected in circulation in certain pieces, which can increase their value among collectors. Here I explain which are the most reported errors:
⚠️ Known errors on the Emiliano Zapata 20 peso coin.
- Displacement of the core: Some coins present an offset of the silver-plated nickel silver core with respect to the bronze-aluminum ring. This results in the core appearing "out of place", which is a striking and much sought after error.
- Edge error: Coins have been found whose edge (rim) is not fluted or is incompletely fluted. Although it does not always raise its value much, it is an interesting variant for collectors.
- Double minting: On some specimens a double image is visible in parts of Zapata's portrait or in the lettering. This occurs when the die strikes the coin twice incorrectly.
- Flaws in the legend or year: Although not common, there are reports of pieces where some lettering in the legend "Emiliano Zapata Salazar" or the dates "1919-2019" appears incomplete, deformed or with excess metal, a minting error known as "bitten edge" or metal overflow.
💰 How much are coins with an error worth?
- A normal coin: between $20 and $50 pesos if it is in good condition.
- Coin with a notable error (off-center or double minting): between $200 and up to $1000 pesos, depending on the type of error and conservation.
- Very marked or unique errors may exceed that figure if there is high demand.
