The gold coins of the Mexican Mint have a rich tradition that dates back to the independence of the nation. After gaining its independence from Spain, the newly formed nation took control of the Mexican Mint as a sovereign facility. Today, it remains one of the worlds oldest active mints and is the oldest still in operation in the Western Hemisphere.

Reverse

The reverse designs of the 500 Peso Mexican Gold Coins offer the true potential for variety in this listing. A great example of possible coins in this listing come from 1985 and 1986. In 1986, Mexico hosted the FIFA World Cup and the Mexican Mint issued gold coins with the 500 Peso denomination honoring the tournament. Both 1985 and 1986 coins in this series had images representing the sport on the reverse, along with the Mexico 86 tournament logo and an Aztec Calendar.

History

The Mexican Mint was initially founded in 1535 by a decree of the Spanish Crown. Since that time, it has been the most consistent mint in the Americas in terms of producing coinage.
