This is a very unusual historical item. It is a piece of ''Axe Money'' (or ''Hoe Money'') from Mexico. This strange money got its name from its unusual shape. Made of bronze and used from 1250-1550 A.D., it is one of the most unusual types currency ever used. This is a fine example of this weird metallic bartering tool.
