In 1987, the Mexican government released a special collection of commemorative medals to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the United States Constitution. This issue reflected a moment of international acknowledgment, as Mexicos national mint created a design honoring a foundational American document. The platinum round was one part of a wider commemorative series that also included silver and gold pieces in a range of sizes. Today, 12 oz Platinum Proof 1987 Mexican 200th Anniversary Casa De Moneda Rounds are available from Provident Metals.

History

During the summer of 1787, representatives from twelve states gathered in Philadelphia to improve upon the Articles of Confederation. Through months of discussion and compromise, they developed a new framework for governing the nation. This effort resulted in the United States Constitution, a document that introduced a balanced system of government and remains central to American law and leadership today.
