First issued in 1921 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Mexico's independence, this peso gold coin is about 20% larger than the 1-oz American Gold Eagle Goin. The popular Mexican coin features a winged angel with the legendary mountains (Popocatepetl and Iztaccihautl) rising in the background. The reverse side of the coin features an eagle with a snake in its beak. The Mexican 50 Pesos in the bullion coin market normally are restrikes, minted from 1943 onward.
