    Description

    The 1985-Mo Mexico 250 Pesos is a gold proof coin issued to celebrate two landmark occasions simultaneously: the 1986 FIFA World Cup hosted in Mexico and the 450th anniversary of the Casa de Moneda de México, one of the oldest operating mints in the Western Hemisphere. Struck at the Mexico City Mint and carrying the Mo mint mark, this coin pairs deep-mirror proof fields with frosted relief devices to achieve the dramatic cameo contrast that earned it a PF 69 Ultra Cameo designation from the Numismatic Guaranty Company. The reverse centers on a dynamic equestrian figure — a classical allegory of conquest and heritage — surrounded by the Spanish inscription "450 Años de la Casa de Moneda" and the iconic Mexico 86 Copa Mundial de Futbol logo, tying the nation's numismatic legacy directly to its role as World Cup host. The obverse presents the Mexican federal coat of arms, an eagle perched on a cactus with a serpent in its beak, encircled by "Estados Unidos Mexicanos. " This coin appeals to collectors across multiple disciplines: world gold proof coinage, FIFA World Cup memorabilia, and Mexican numismatic history. It resides in NGC's signature holder, certified and registry-ready.

    Frequently asked questions

    PF 69 Ultra Cameo is NGC's grade indicating a near-perfect proof strike with only the most minute imperfections and strong, frosted cameo contrast between the raised design elements and the mirror-like fields. It is one numerical point below a perfect PF 70, placing this coin in the top tier of certified examples.
    The coin celebrates both the 1986 FIFA World Cup held in Mexico — represented by the Mexico 86 Copa Mundial de Futbol logo on the reverse — and the 450th anniversary of the Casa de Moneda de México, the historic Mexican mint founded in 1535 and still operating today.
    The reverse features a mounted equestrian figure evoking Mexico's colonial heritage, encircled by the Spanish legend '450 Años de la Casa de Moneda' (450 Years of the Mint). At the bottom, the Mexico 86 World Cup logo and the inscription 'Copa Mundial de Futbol' tie the design to the 1986 tournament.
    The coin is encapsulated in NGC's rigid, sonically sealed holder and features NGC's holographic security label on the reverse of the slab. The holder is designed to protect the proof surfaces from contact damage while allowing full viewing of both sides without removal.
