Mexico (Inc. in Pennsylvania), $500, 20% I/U Bond. Green with red "$500" overprint, Coupons on bottom with 1 pinned, Oval purple hand stamp "U.S. Revenue Stamp on the Mortgage", S/N 78, VF condition, Rare early Mexico-California (Baja, Mexico) mining company. U.S. Arms at top. In 1862, silver and gold were discovered in the southern Baja California Sur mountains, leading miners from Mexico and the United States to rush to settle in El Triunfo in a gold rush. Many of the miners had participated in the 1849 California gold rush. Once the largest city in Baja California Sur, it was home to more than 10,000 miners. In its heyday the town was a cultural center, where Francisca Mendoza taught and performed.
