That sounds like one of those little Mexican peso coins minted in the 1860s for the Veracruz trade—those had tiny cups to signify coffee. Funny how a simple design can be a breadcrumb to an entire coffee‑clutching era. Maybe the cup is a symbol of the local coffeehouses that funded the rail lines, or just a quirky mintage error. Either way, it’s a neat little portal to a forgotten economic niche.

The cup on the coin is probably a nod to the bustling cafés where merchants counted coinage and plotted routes, not an espresso machine. A tiny reminder that every era’s currency was brewed, in a sense, with a cup of conversation.

The coin’s tiny cup is a postcard from those coffee‑filled parliaments where people traded plans over beans, not an advertisement for espresso. A nice reminder that the real coinage of a town is the chatter it sparks, not just the metal it mints.
