Few coins in the world have fascinated collectors like the one peso coin "Muera Huerta" (Death to Huerta) minted in Durango, Mexico in 1914 during the Mexican Revolution. The unusual legend desiring the death of the Mexican president Victoriano Huerta (1850-1916) has made this coin shrouded in many stories and legends.

The author classifies 40 different "Death to Muerta" coins and using the following catalogues numbers per each piece: RMH (Reflexiones Muera Huerta), A (Carlo Amaya-Guerra), G (Carlos Gaytán), GB (Hugh Guthrie & Merrill Bothamley) KM (Krause-Mishler), S (Jesús Sánchez-Garza), U (Neil Utberg) and W (Howland Wood)

It is a very recommended book to all collectors of Mexican Revolution coinage.
