Seller: Top-Rated Plus Seller elfreeman ✉️ (35,146) 99.9%, Location: Chicago, IL, US, Ships to: WORLDWIDE, Item: 391887768151 elf Mexico Empire of Maximilian 1 Peso 1866 Mo. KM 388.1, two year type, issued while Mexico was occupied by European forces (primarily French). Silver crown, with Maximilian on the obverse.

European forces occupied Mexico in 1861, after the Mexican President suspended payments of the interest on debts owed to foreigners. Maximilian, a younger brother of the Austrian emperor, was invited to take the throne in Mexico, which he did. The U. S. protested the occupation, on the basis of the Monroe Doctrine, but was unable to intervene due to the Civil War which was raging at that time. When the Confederacy was defeated in 1865, the U. S., which then had the largest standing army in the world, ordered the Europeans out of Mexico. The European forces left, and Maximilian was executed by firing squad in 1867.
