The 1945 Gold 50 Pesos Mexican Bullion Coins were issued by the Mexico City Mint. These coins commemorate 100 years of Independence from Spain. Coins produced from 1949-1972 bear the date 1947.
These gold bullion coins are supplied loose. You can purchase a 38mm capsule to protect your coin.
Please note: these coins have slight surface scratches.
The term "peso" originates from Spanish and has an interesting background. It comes from "pesos de oro," meaning "gold weights," and "pesos de plata," referring to "silver weights."
These coins were minted to commemorate Mexico’s independence in 1821 from Spanish ruling. This bullion coin was minted between the years 1921-47.
The Mexican War of Independence, which occurred from 1810 to 1821, was a significant and courageous struggle. It witnessed Mexican revolutionaries rising up against Spanish colonial rule, leading to the eventual liberation of the nation and the establishment of Mexico as an independent country.
The Winged Victory design, often known as the Angel of Independence, holds great symbolism in Mexico. This iconic statue portrays a majestic angel with outstretched wings, holding a laurel wreath and a broken chain, symbolizing victory and freedom.
The obverse side of the coin showcases the Winged Victory design, commonly known as "The Angel of Independence". It features on all Mexican 50 Pesos in the Centenario gold bullion series.
The legend of the reverse design reads as:
50 PESOS
37,5 Gr. ORO PURO
1821 1945
The reverse of the coin showcases Mexico's national coat of arms, featuring a golden eagle gracefully perched on a prickly pear cactus while gripping a rattlesnake in its beak.
