Description
The 1943 Mexico 50 Peso Gold Coin is a historic Mexican gold coin from the renowned Centenario series, originally introduced in 1921 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Mexico’s independence from Spain. Struck in 90% gold, the coin contains 1.2057 troy ounces (37.5 grams) of pure gold and measures approximately 37 mm in diameter. The obverse features the iconic Winged Victory, also known as the Angel of Independence, holding a laurel wreath and broken chains with the volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl in the background. The reverse displays Mexico’s national coat of arms, depicting an eagle perched on a cactus with a serpent in its beak. The 1943 issue is distinctive within the Centenario series for displaying the gold weight inscription “37.5 Gr. ORO PURO” on both sides of Winged Victory rather than the usual “50 PESOS” denomination, making it a recognizable date among collectors of classic Mexican gold coinage.
