The Cinco Pesos gold coin from the Mexican Mint is considered the forerunner to the South African Krugerrand. A popular bullion coin, the Cinco Pesos are small and light, making them handy to collect and store.
The coins were issued by the Banco de Mexico between 1905 and 1955, though most coins have since been restruck to show the year as 1955.
The front of the five peso coin has a portrait of Don Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a celebrated pastor who led an army of civilians into battle during the Mexican War of Independence. The obverse also states the words Cinco Pesos along the coin edge, as well as the year of its mintage.
The reverse of the coin features the Mexican national coat of arms; an emblem based upon folklore about the founding of Mexico and the divine message to the people instructing them where to go and to look out for a golden eagle devouring a snake whilst stood upon a cactus. The words “Estados Unidos Mexicanos” are also present around the emblem.
