Overview

Heptagonal (seven-sided) coin featuring the Mexican National Coat of Arms: an eagle perched on a cactus devouring a serpent, surrounded by the text 'ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS'.

Historical significance

This coin belongs to the 'Peso Viejo' era before the 1993 currency revaluation. It depicts Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, the father of Mexican independence, on the reverse. The heptagonal shape was a unique design choice during this economic period.

Estimated value

$0.50 - $3.00 USD (Depending on condition and mintage year)

Care & preservation

Handle by the edges to avoid transferring finger oils. Store in a cool, dry place within a PVC-free numismatic holder. Do not clean with chemicals or abrasives, as this significantly reduces collector value.
