NEW BOOK: MISSING LINK OF JOSÉ MARÍA MORELOS

Allan Behul writes:

"I just wanted to reach out and say "Hello" from Mexico City. I am a Canadian that has been living here for more than twenty years, and will actually be returning to my home country, once things calm down a bit in terms of the present contingency.

"The E-Sylum was mentioned in a numismatic conference that I participated in this week, and I went through the page, and subscribed. Congrats on the first issue, that was emailed on September 4th, 1998!!!

Missing Link of José María Morelos Spanih book cover "I was wondering whether I could announce my new book. It was published in Spanish this past July 2020, and officially launched with the Mexican Numismatic Society on July 4th. It is an investigative, numismatic work that demystifies more than two-hundred years concerning the enigma of Jose Maria Morelos' 4 Reales coin; specifically, whether the coin existed or not. I also present documental, historical evidence never before seen, including illustrations."

"Here is the book trailer (in Spanish, but I am sure readers can get the gist of it):

"I am currently working on the English translation of the book. Hopefully, it will be published sometime next year.

Absolutely. Welcome aboard. In English, the book's title translates to The Missing Link of José María Morelos y Pavón: In Search of the Elusive 4 Real Coin. Here's the announcement. -Editor

ABOUT THE BOOK
The present investigative work is the first book of its kind, ever to be written about a numismatic enigma, embedded in the history of Mexico. It is a coin that is supposed to have been part of the insurgent coins known as SUD-type, minted between 1811 and 1814; a coin that has inspired countless searches, and inadvertently converted itself into a numismatic missing link of sorts...

The elusive 4 reales coin of Jose Maria Morelos y Pavon.
