Mexican Gold Coins
Mexican gold coins represent one of the most historically significant and widely recognized series in the world of numismatics. Struck by the Casa de Moneda de México — one of the oldest operating mints in the Western Hemisphere — these coins span several denominations and were originally produced as legal-tender currency during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The series is grounded in Mexico's rich monetary heritage and remains a staple in both gold bullion and classic world coin collections.

About Mexican Gold Coins
The most prominent pieces in this series are the 50 Peso and 20 Peso coins, containing 1.205 troy oz and .4823 troy oz of gold, respectively, at a fineness of .900. Smaller denominations — the 10 Peso (.24 oz), 2.5 Peso (.0603 oz), and 2 Peso (.048 oz) — offer entry points across a wide range of budgets and collection goals. Many of these coins were restruck by the Mexican mint in later decades to meet collector and investor demand, which is why "random year" examples are common across the denomination range. The obverse of the larger denominations famously features the Aztec Sun Stone (often called the Aztec Calendar), while smaller coins bear the Mexican coat of arms — design elements that distinguish this series within world gold coinage.
On Lone Star Coins, buyers will find Mexican gold coins across all major denominations, sourced from multiple vetted dealers. Listings include random-year examples as well as specific-date coins, spanning the full denomination range from the compact 2 Peso up to the substantial 50 Peso. Whether building a complete denomination set or acquiring a single piece, this category offers meaningful variety in both size and year.
