I would like to ask a question of the readership, if possible, to locate an original image of the Central American Mint that opened in August 1892
in San Salvador, El Salvador. Ivan Zelaya of El Salvador is searching for any image (preferably photographic) of the actual mint itself or the
opening ceremony during August 1892 (he has a lithograph – low resolution) but would like to find such for an upcoming publication.
Ivan is our newest subscriber - welcome! He shared this link to the only known engraved image of the mint. Can anyone help find a
photo? -Editor
The Mint of San Salvador.
It started operations formally on August 28, 1892. After several attempts to establish a mint in San Salvador finally a group of British
entrepreneurs brought together to shareholders and capital to the founding of the company "The Central American Mint Limited".
