This elegant antique silver ashtray is fashioned with an original Mexican silver peso coin, creating a striking fusion of numismatic history and decorative silver craftsmanship. At its center is a 1902–1904 Mexico City–minted peso, struck in .902 fine silver, measuring 37mm and weighing 27.08 grams with an actual silver weight of approximately 0.786 troy ounces. The coin features the iconic Cap of Liberty with radiant rays and the inscription “LIBERTAD,” with the Mexican Eagle on the reverse, one of the most enduring and recognizable designs in Mexican coinage.
The coin is set into a silver ashtray produced by George Falconer Co. (H.K.) Ltd., an established silversmith firm founded in 1855 and known for high-quality silver goods produced in Hong Kong for international markets. This piece is housed in its original presentation box.
Combining authentic early 20th-century Mexican silver coinage with period silverwork, this ashtray represents both artistic craftsmanship and historical value. This is a refined and unusual collectible, appealing to numismatists, silver collectors, and those seeking a distinctive antique display piece with verified authenticity and historical character.
