Mexican 2.5 Pesos Gold Coin | .0603 oz (Random Year)

The Mexican 2.5 Pesos Gold Coin delivers 0.0603 troy oz of fine gold in one of Mexico's most storied small-denomination gold issues. Known in Spanish as the Dos y Medio Pesos, this coin features the dignified portrait of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla on the obverse — the Catholic priest and revolutionary leader celebrated as the father of Mexican independence. The denomination and date are inscribed alongside his portrait within a decorative denticled border. The reverse carries the full national coat of arms: a golden eagle perched on a nopal cactus, devouring a serpent, framed by oak and laurel branches and the legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS. Struck at the Casa de Moneda de Mexico — one of the oldest continuously operating mints in the Western Hemisphere, founded in 1535 — this coin represents centuries of Mexican minting tradition. The 2.5 Pesos denomination sits at the smaller end of the classic Mexican gold Pesos series, making it an accessible and historically resonant addition to any collection of world gold coinage. This listing is for a random-year example, each sharing the same iconic design and gold content.
