Mexican 50 Peso 1oz coin

 

This piece was coined in 1921 as hard currency to commemorate the first 100 years (centennial) of the Mexican Independence. Subsequently, in 1931 coinage was discontinued and it was not until 1943 when it started again due to the increasing demand for gold coins prevailing at that time. On the reverse side, the centenario presents one of the national coat of arms used in the past, and on the obverse a woman symbolizes the Winged Victory with the legendary Ixtaccihuatl and Popocateptl volcanoes on the background.

This coin has a pure gold content of 1.20565 oz.
