Highlights:
Each 2.50 Peso Mexican Gold Coin is packaged in a protective plastic flip for delivery. Each coin is made from .0603 Troy oz of gold with a fineness of .900, making them compact yet valuable. Measuring 15.5 mm in diameter and 9 mm in thickness, these coins are a great option for collectors and investors.
Obverse
On the obverse of the 2.50 Peso Mexican Gold Coin is a portrait of Don Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a leader of Mexicos independence movement. His profile is skillfully detailed, with inscriptions below the portrait noting the denomination “Dos y Medio Pesos” and the year of issue. Inscriptions here include DOS Y MEDIO PESOS and the year of issue.
Reverse
The reverse side of the coin features Mexico’s official Coat of Arms. This emblem shows a golden eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus with a serpent in its beak and talons. The design is inspired by an ancient legend about the founding of Mexico City and represents the triumph of good over evil. Encircling the image is the inscription “Estados Unidos Mexicanos.”

"I found this great looking coin going at a discount compared to other coins of the same weight. Its a little over 1/20 of an ounce. The coin itself is in great condition and I am glad that I bought it. I just started getting into Mexican coins and this was my first one. I love it and hope to buy a couple of the larger ones."

“These 10 “dos y medio” Peso coins were my second order of gold from Provident Metals. I couldn’t be more pleased. the coins were exactly as stated, and beautiful strikes, even though mint date was 1945. Thanks, and I’ll be back!!!”

“I tell you what, you would be hard pressed to find gold at a lower premium, gram for gram, than with mexican pesos. So many varieties is gold content that anyone can buy gold. Great to add to your order while keeping it in the same shipping price bracket.”
“small, yes. gold, yes. don’t drop these you may not find it.”
“I am not disappointed, just not impressed. For a 1945 restrike I would have expected better quality. Its not rare. It does meet the criteria of the description but does not exceed it. I still think Provident is a great provider of not so common bullion. Would buy again.”
“I like the 2.5 peso for the low premium. I can’t say that the design on the coin is very attractive, as compared to the old Euro small gold, but for folks on a limited PM budget, they are a very economical way to consistently keep adding to the stack!”
