Diocletian abdication issue looks like Day of the Dead celebration

When I saw this coin I immediately thought of the Day of the Dead holiday.

When I found my VLPP XP helmet, on a Mexican e-commerce site, it had to survive the dreaded Correos de Mexico (coin flip chance of arrival) to get here ...

These were the stamps on the package.

Congrats on the safe arrival and awesome coin...I am always a bit concerned about shipping to Mexico; though I have several times with no problems.

Thanks, Victor.

If you google for correo de mexico, or related terms, you'll find all sorts of horror stories, but perhaps some of this is outdated. I gather it has improved a little in recent years. Still horribly inefficient at best though. I bought this coin a couple of years ago (pre-covid), coming from Monclova, 150mi from the US border, and it still took 3 weeks to get to the border... Didn't help that the "registered mail" receipt was hand written and had an invalid tracking number (invalid check digit).
