1978 Mexico Silver 100 Pesos
28 comments
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.

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.
