About this product
Product Information
The 1948 silver coin from Mexico is made of 90 percent silver and 10 percent other metal alloys. It was minted for only two years. During the time of the production of this Mexican peso, Cuauhtemoc ignored the demand for gold treasure, thus resulting in torture and eventually, his death. Cuauhtemoc, the last Aztec emperor, is featured on the obverse of this 1948 five-peso piece wearing a headdress and facing to the left. The obverse side of this silver coin includes the words "30 gramos," meaning 30 g, "Ley 0.900 M" for the amount of silver content, "cinco pesos," and the year 1948. This Mexican peso features an eagle holding a snake in its beak on the reverse side. The wording on the reverse side of this 1948 five-peso piece says "Estados Unidos Mexicanos," meaning United Mexican States. This Mexican peso is 40 mm in diameter.Product Key Features

mexican coins
had many of these coins many years ago and was very found of them am a graduate of history and have traveled all over Mexico visiting Mayan and Aztec ruins and that is where I had picked up my many of these coins and others back in 70's and 80's and at that time ypu could get them for 50 cents or less in Mexico and I liked the design so always brought home quite a bit, but as luck would have it they were all lost in a move from London back to US in 2011 was very upset but what could I do, am now starting to buy afew just to have because I liked the design so much and go well with my coin collection ! I would have had quite a little fortune now at the price they are selling for . the coin I bought was in very good shape and delivery was very quick am keeping an eye out for a 47 now , but am just amazed at howmuch in worth these coins have gone up in those years . excellent dealerVerified purchase: Yes

1948 Mexican 5 Peso Coin
I recently became enamored with some of the Mexican issues. I think some are beautiful coins, so if you can find ones you like and the price is right you may chose to purchase some. Be aware of the coins silver content and purity. Some are an ounce of fairly pure silver while others appearing to be similar have little silver content.Verified purchase: Yes

Cinco Pesos
Having grown up with this coin back in the 50`s it is always a pleasure to gain another. The hole drilled in it is a reminder of how we hung our pesos around our neck so as not to loose it. I grew up in a border town so I cherish it as a memento of those years.Verified purchase: Yes
