Mexico 1/4 real Zacatecas Quarto Quartilla Angel Genuine VF PCGS brass coin 1859

This 1859 Mexico Zacatecas 1/4 Real, also known as a Quarto or Quartilla, is a historic brass coin from the mid-19th century, authenticated by PCGS as Genuine VF. One side presents a striking winged angel in motion, surrounded by long radiating lines that create a dramatic sunburst effect. The figure holds symbolic objects above, while a small ground or landscape element with a flag appears below; a toothed border frames the design. The opposite side features the inscription EST. LIB. FED. DE ZACATECAS, the date 1859 and QUARTILLA. At the center is a distinctive architectural or monumental composition with a tall pointed form rising from a rectangular structure, surrounded by abundant floral and leafy ornamentation and additional decorative elements below. The naturally aged brass surface, visible circulation wear and surviving engraved details give the piece strong historical character. An appealing certified example of regional Mexican coinage from Zacatecas and a distinctive addition to a collection of 19th-century Latin American numismatics.
