Title

Silver Bullion

Description

Presents a detailed shot showing men transporting silver coins during the Silver Buillon Crisis in Mexico (a critical shortage of silver coins). In the center there is a little cart with approx. 20 bags of silver and a wheelbarrow with approx. 30, both flanked by a worker on each side; In the background, more men surround the product, although they are wearing more elegant clothes; There may also be a third cart, although it appears to be empty. It also appears that they are at the entrance of a building, probably a bank, but it is difficult to identify it specifically.
