Banco de México’s 100th anniversary of Banco de México’s founding (silver)
Founded in 1925, the nation’s central bank marks a century of safeguarding Mexico’s financial stability with a special two-ounce silver coin minted by the Casa de Moneda de México. The coin carries a $10 peso denomination and features intricate designs: the reverse depicts the façade of Banco de México’s main building alongside the centennial logo, while the edge bears the inscription “Centenario de la fundación del Banco de México”. On the obverse, Mexico’s national coat of arms is surrounded by historic versions of the emblem, symbolizing the evolution of the country’s identity over time.
This limited-edition release not only honors the institution’s century-long role in Mexico’s economic development but also serves as a collector’s piece, blending artistry with national pride.
