1985-Mo Mexico 250 Pesos 1986 World Cup / Mint 450th Anniversary NGC PF 69 Ultra Cameo
From $1,195.11
The 1985-Mo Mexico 250 Pesos is a gold proof coin issued to celebrate two landmark occasions simultaneously: the 1986 FIFA World Cup hosted in Mexico and the 450th anniversary of the Casa de Moneda de México, one of the oldest operating mints in the Western Hemisphere. Struck at the Mexico City Mint and carrying the Mo mint mark, this coin pairs deep-mirror proof fields with frosted relief devices to achieve the dramatic cameo contrast that earned it a PF 69 Ultra Cameo designation from the Numismatic Guaranty Company. The reverse centers on a dynamic equestrian figure — a classical allegory of conquest and heritage — surrounded by the Spanish inscription "450 Años de la Casa de Moneda" and the iconic Mexico 86 Copa Mundial de Futbol logo, tying the nation's numismatic legacy directly to its role as World Cup host. The obverse presents the Mexican federal coat of arms, an eagle perched on a cactus with a serpent in its beak, encircled by "Estados Unidos Mexicanos. " This coin appeals to collectors across multiple disciplines: world gold proof coinage, FIFA World Cup memorabilia, and Mexican numismatic history. It resides in NGC's signature holder, certified and registry-ready.
