This one is worn but not too bad for a coin from 1883.
It's supposed to say "LIBERTAD" on the brim of the cap there but that's pretty much worn off.

On the reverse it says 25 CENTAVOS, Zs S 902.7 The Zs S means it was minted at the Zacatecas Mint (Zs - Casa de Moneda de Zacatecas, Mexico (1812-1905)) and the 902.7 is the fineness.

If you look closer at the word "CANTAVOS", specifically at the "AVO" it looks like a double die strike. What do you think?

Also, how much do you think I paid for this coin?
