Mexican 20 Peso Gold Coin

Mexican gold pesos give you real gold weight at a premium well below what modern sovereign coins carry. The 20 Peso holds 0.4823 troy oz of pure gold in a .900 fine alloy, which makes it durable enough that circulated pieces still show strong detail. Buyers who care about ounces rather than packaging tend to end up here.

Key Features:

• Purity and Weight: 0.4823 troy oz of pure gold, 16.667 grams gross at .900 fineness
• Metal Type: Gold
• Obverse Design: Aztec sun stone with denomination and gold content
• Reverse Design: Mexican coat of arms with the eagle, serpent, and cactus

The obverse centers on the Aztec sun stone, the massive carved monolith unearthed in Mexico City in 1790. The face of the deity Tonatiuh occupies the middle, ringed by concentric bands of glyphs marking the days and cardinal directions, with pointed rays radiating outward. VEINTE PESOS curves around the upper portion in tall letters, and 15 Gr. ORO PURO runs along the bottom, stating the pure gold content in grams. A denticled border rings the edge.

The reverse carries the national coat of arms. An eagle perches on a prickly pear cactus growing from rock, wings raised and head turned left, gripping a serpent in its beak and talon. An oak and laurel wreath curves beneath. ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS arcs across the top, with the date in the right field.

The type was struck for circulation between 1917 and 1921, with later restrikes produced by the Mexican Mint. Coins measure 27.5 mm across. Dates vary by inventory and are selected from current stock. Circulated examples may show light wear consistent with age.

Fractional gold at roughly half an ounce hits a useful middle ground: enough weight to matter, small enough to sell in pieces. Combine that with a low premium and a design tied directly to Mexican history, and these coins earn their place in a lot of stacks. Add a Mexican 20 Peso gold coin to your order today.
