The Mexico Cien Pesos silver coin, minted 1977 - 1979, marked the first official 100-peso denomination issued by Mexico. Before then, Mexico had not issued any circulating or commemorative coins with a 100-peso denomination. It is also the last of its kind, representing the end of an era, as Mexico transitioned to circulating base metal coinage.


It features Jose Maria Morales, a key figure in Mexico's independence, to reflect Mexico's pride in its revolutionary heritage. The coin was issued during a time when Mexico was promoting cultural unity and historical remembrance.


Coin Highlights:
Contains .643 oz actual Silver weight.
Packaged individually in a plastic flip.
Dates will be of our choosing and may or may not vary, determined by stock on hand.
Coins will be in Almost Uncirculated or Brilliant Uncirculated condition.
Obverse: Bust of José María Morelos. To the left of the bust is the denomination “CIEN” (100) “PESOS” and to the right is the year of issue and mint mark "Mo."
Reverse: National coat of arms of Mexico featuring an eagle with a snake in its mouth.
KM-483.




The Cien Pesos are among the last large silver issues. It is a historical artifact as it captures Mexico's pride, its reverence for independence heroes. It is holding a moment when silver was in the hands of everyday citizens.
