Mexican Mint Gold

Mexico has a rich numismatic history dating back to the Spanish colonial era. The Mexican Mint, or "Casa de Moneda de México," was established in 1535. From 1925 to 1986, the Bank of Mexico politically controlled the Mint, which then relocated from Mexico City to San Luis Potosí in 1992. This transition reformed Mexican coinage, introducing a new Peso and commemorative coins. As a result, the Mexican Peso became the most widely traded currency in Latin America, enhancing Mexico's economic stability.

Gold Libertads Coins

The Gold Libertad, introduced in 1982 by the Mexican Mint, was created to compete with other popular bullion coins like the Gold American Eagle and Gold Maple Leaf . Unlike most bullion coins, Libertads lack a legal tender face value, instead relying on the Mexican government's guarantee based on the coin's weight and purity.

Libertads are available in both gold and silver and come in proof and brilliant uncirculated finishes across a range of sizes. The Gold Libertad's design, influenced by the classic 1921 Centenario gold coin, features the "Winged Liberty" statue on the reverse and Mexico's national emblem on the obverse. Libertads are prized by collectors for their timeless design, high quality craftsmanship, and limited mintages.

Centenarios and Other Gold Pesos

The Mexican Mint boasts a rich history of producing renowned gold coins, including the iconic Centenarios and other Gold Pesos. Crafted with a composition of 90% gold and 10% copper for durability, these coins circulated widely from the mid-19th century through the 1920s. Among the most sought-after denominations are the 5 Peso and 20 Peso, cherished by collectors and investors alike.

Introduced in 1921 to commemorate Mexico's independence centennial, the Centenario features the renowned Winged Victory design and remains a powerful symbol of national pride, despite never being intended for everyday transactions due to its high gold content. Yet the 50 Peso Centenario holds a unique place as a legal tender artifact. Today, these historic Mexican gold coins continue to captivate collectors worldwide, reflecting the country's enduring numismatic legacy.
