The Spanish conquerors built the Mexican Mint (Casa de Moneda de México) in 1535, making it the oldest operational mint in the Americas. It was built because of the high costs involved in shipping silver and gold for striking coins in Spain. Since this is the oldest operational mint in the American continent, its products are highly regarded throughout the world.

Each of these coins contains 2 troy ounces of pure 0.999 silver.

The reverses of these coins bear an image of a Winged Victoria of the Mexican Independence Victory Column. Victoria, the mythological Roman Goddess of Victory, was the Roman equivalent of the Greek Goddess Nike. She is widely recognized as a symbol of Mexican independence. This side also features the famous volcanoes, Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl, in the backdrop of Winged Victoria.

On the other hand, the obverse face of the coin features the sculptural relief design of the National Shield. This rendition is accompanied by the phrase ‘Estados Unidos Mexicanos.’ Furthermore, the various coats of arms used by Mexico surround the image of the present National Shield of the country.
