Mexican 100 Pesos silver coins are a cost-effective way to diversify your portfolio and add to your foreign coins collection. Each 100 Pesos coin at Provident Metals contains .6428 troy ounces of .720 pure silver and arrives in almost uncirculated condition or better.

The obverse of each 100 Peso features a portrait of General Jos Mara Morelos, the 19th century Mexican revolutionary who led the Mexican War of Independence (1810-1821). It is inscribed with the words “PLATA PURA 20 GR LEY .720,” which translates to mean pure silver 20 grams .720 fine. The year of issue is also included.

The reverse of each Silver 100 Peso features the Mexican coat of arms: an eagle with a snake in its beak, standing atop a cactus. It is inscribed with the words “ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS,” or United Mexican States.

History of the 100 Peso Silver Coin

La Casa de Moneda de Mxico is the oldest mint on the American continents. Established by the first viceroy of New Spain, Antonio de Mendoza in 1535, the mint was ordered by King Charles I, who was eager to open the first American mint. For the next 400 years, silver eight-reales and pesos circulated widely across the Americas and into Asia.

In 1977, the Mexican Mint unveiled the nation’s first 100 peso coin. Short lived, the coin was replaced by a base metal variation just two years later. Many of the coins were melted for their silver, rendering them scarce today. Mexican coins are now produced in San Luis Potos, though the mint is headquartered at the Museo Nacional de las Culturas in Mexico City.

"I recently received a few of these coins with my last order and they exceeded my expectations. They are in excellent condition and one of my favorite coins so far. Old school silver baby, yeah!"

"They only made these for a few years. The eagle on the back is awesome! I've bought lots of these from other dealers, and the one Provident sent me looks like its uncirculated! None of my other ones come close to looking as good. Don't know how they do it. Provident is amazing!"

"This is the coin that got me interested in Mexican coins. This coin has a patina that most silver does not have, not even .999 or .9999. It's so white and beautiful, the eagle is one of the best I've seen. Since this is bullion, I clean the ones that have no numas value, they come out amazing. Pictures cannot capture the patina on this coin, it's something you just have to hold in your hand. 24 coins fit in a medallion tube, the ASW is .643, so a tube comes out to: 15.432 Troy ounces. These coins at melt are an amazing store of wealth."

"I purchase a roll of these at spot. Dates were mixed and quality was excellent. How can you go wrong purchasing at melt price? Thanks for the excellent price on these Mexican coins."

Bob from - November 21, 2011

"I was very surprised at the beautiful condition of these coins. I received 1977 and 1978 coins and except for a ding/scratch on the front of one coin, they look like they were minted last week. Purchased at melt price, how can I go wrong? Not my first order with Provident, so I won't go into how great they are to deal with. You've heard all that before :)"

"Bought Mexican 100 Pesos Silver coins as my 2nd purchase from Provident Metals. They arrived quickly and as described (i.e. Almost Uncirculated Condition). They are very beautiful coins. I originally decided to make a purchased from Provident Metals after comparing their markup and shipping rates; both of which I felt were fair (especially to those companies who advertise heavily). I also checked their BBB record which looked good to me. If you pay with a certified check the coins are mailed out quickly, if you send a personal check they hold it for at least an extra 6 days. If you live in Texas make sure you order more than $1000 worth to avoid paying sales tax."
