Definition of Peso

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."

Centenario bullion series

These coins were minted to commemorate Mexico’s independence in 1821 from Spanish ruling. This bullion coin was minted between the years 1921-47.

Mexico's Independence From Spain

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 Angel of Independence design

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.

50 Pesos Centenario 1947 Restrikes

Between 1949 and 1972, a significant number of coins, totaling 3,975,654, were reissued, with the majority presumably bearing the 1947 date.

Obverse

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

37.5Gr. PRO PURO

1821 1929

Reverse

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.

The inscription reads:

ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS

UNITED STATES OF MEXICO

Excellent customer service

Chards is a brilliant bullion dealer. The information in their site is clear and reliable, plus it tells you everything you need to know. Their prices are competitive and always great, even with the price of gold soaring. With my latest purchase, they were prompt and the coin was dispatched quickly in secure packaging. It’s always a pleasure buying from Chards.

My first everyone bullion purchase but…

My first everyone bullion purchase but glad it was with Chards. Their website was easier to use, and prices were most competitive overall after checking some of the other bullion by mail places. 1 bar and 1 coin, both second hand and both in great condition from what I can see. Arrived very quickly with no issues. I rang in to get a little advice in general too and found the lady I spoke to very helpful.
