Commentary
Cet essai est parfaitement énigmatique mais se rapporte probablement à un Eugène Kurtz qui semble avoir travaillé au Mexique jusqu’à l’époque de Maximilien. Le droit de cet essai est exactement le type des monnaies mexicaines de l’époque avec MONNAIE MEXICAINE remplacé par REPUBLICA MEXICANA.
This essay is perfectly enigmatic but probably refers to a Eugène Kurtz who seems to have worked in Mexico until the time of Maximilian. The obverse of this essay is exactly the type of Mexican coins of the time with MEXICAN coin replaced by REPUBLICA MEXICANA

Historical background
MEXICO - REPUBLIC
The reign of Joseph Napoleon is an opportunity for Hispanic America to shake off the Spanish yoke and revolt. The Mexican Revolution began in 1810 and actually lasted until the proclamation of the Republic in 1823. In the Treaty of Guadaloupe on May 2, 1848, Mexico ceded Texas and California to the United States, nearly half of his territory. Thirty years later, General Porfirio Diaz, who militated on the side of the liberals against French intervention in Mexico, seized power in 1876 and exercised it until 1911. During these 35 years of dictatorship, the country opened its doors to foreign capital, the economy is modernizing but social inequalities are growing.
