This coin is made with 0.6430 Troy Ounces of .720 fine silver.

To his right is the date of issue from 1977-1979. The date of the coin you receive is contingent on the stock on hand. Above the date is the Mexican Mint mintmark. Below the image is ‘PLATA PURA 20 GR LEY .720’ which is the weight (in grams) and the purity of the coin. The reverse side of the coin has the Mexican Coat of Arms, a rattlesnake caught in the beak of an eagle. Above the scene is ‘ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS’ which translates to ‘The United States of Mexico’ in English. This 1977-1979 Mexico 100 Peso Silver Coin is not a coin you may see very often as the Mexican Mint limited the number of coins they made every year. This makes these coins a little rare.
