Seven and a half grams of fine gold, struck in Mexico: the 10 Mexican Peso Centenario Gold is one of those gold coins that also tell a chapter of national history. Its heraldic eagle is designed with great care, and its weight makes it a solid foundation for any gold reserve. For investors who wish to combine preservation of value with history, it is a compelling choice.

The portrait on the reverse

On its reverse, the coin bears the portrait of Miguel Hidalgo. The priest called for an uprising against Spanish colonial rule and thereby gave the impetus for Mexico's independence. In Mexico, the coin is simply called the Hidalgo after him. It thus combines the value of the metal with the memory of a national hero.

An eagle with outspread wings

On the obverse, the Mexican eagle spreads its wings as it perches on a cactus, carrying a snake in its beak. Even the individual feathers are carefully worked. Branches of oak and laurel complete the image, which is also familiar in a similar form from the flag of Mexico. The inscription ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS rounds off the design.

Gold beyond individual currencies

What determines the value of this coin is not the face value struck on it, but the gold it contains. Gold is not tied to any single currency, is recognised around the globe and retains its intrinsic value even when paper money loses purchasing power. The coin therefore serves as an inflation hedge and at the same time protects savings against currency risks. This also makes it a solid building block for retirement provision.

The coins are circulated pieces in standard bank quality from various years of issue; small signs of wear are part of their character. As investment gold, the coin is also exempt from VAT.

Support in turbulent times

The coin contributes to crisis protection because its value lies tangibly in your hand and does not depend on technology or the promises of others. With 7.5 g of fine gold, it is large enough for a noticeable reserve and can be used individually when needed. People have always turned to gold as soon as they begin to doubt their paper money, and such a store of value can be preserved across generations.
