Hi Hivers,

I do have a few gold Mexican coins like a libertad proof set, a 20 pesos with Aztec Calendar and this chunky 37,5 gramm Centenario

What is Centenario

Well it means "hundred years" (cien = 100 ) and it was initially made in 1921 to celebrate 100 years independance (independencia) of Spain.

The Angel de Independencia is portrayed on the fron and the coat of arms of mexico on the other side. Mintin started afain between 1943 and after 1949 all coins were carrying the 1947 year like this one I bought.

I bought it in Belgium with Argentor and it comes at only 3% premium. However they do not have the coin available all the time.

Be aware that it is a coin of more than 1 troy ounce and 37,5 gramm pure gold is included next to soem copper. An oucne is 31,105 gramm by the way.

Next time I will show the Axtec calendar 20 pesos
