Gold Mexican 50 Peso | 1.205 oz

The Gold Mexican 50 Peso is one of the most recognized and collected large-format gold coins in the world, and this 1947-dated example carries 37. 5 grams of oro puro (fine gold) — equivalent to 1. 205 troy ounces. Struck by the Casa de Moneda de México, the coin's obverse features the soaring Winged Victory figure, a reproduction of the Angel of Independence monument in Mexico City, flanked by the dual dates 1821 and 1947 to mark the centennial of Mexican independence. The denomination "50 Pesos" is boldly inscribed alongside the gold content specification "37. 5 Gr. Oro Puro," making this one of the few coins in the world that explicitly declares its precious metal content as part of the design. The reverse presents the full Mexican national coat of arms — an eagle perched on a cactus devouring a serpent, encircled by an oak-and-laurel wreath — with the legend "Estados Unidos Mexicanos" arcing above. Framed by a finely beaded border on both faces, the Centenario is a cornerstone piece for gold bullion collectors and numismatists drawn to Latin American coinage.
