Overview
A gold-colored circular coin featuring a bearded portrait on one side and the Mexican coat of arms on the other.
Historical significance
This coin features Venustiano Carranza, a leader in the Mexican Revolution and former President of Mexico. Issued during a period of high inflation in the 1980s, these coins were later demonetized in 1992 following the introduction of the 'Nuevo Peso'.
Obverse (front)
Portrait of Venustiano Carranza facing left, 'V. CARRANZA' below, '$100' denomination to the right, 'Mo' mint mark above the denomination, and the year '1984' at the bottom. Braille dots for the blind are located above the denomination.
Reverse (back)
The National Coat of Arms of Mexico (an eagle perched on a cactus devouring a snake), with the legend 'ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS' forming a semicircle above.
Estimated value
$0.25 - $1.00 in circulated condition, $2.00 - $5.00 in high-grade uncirculated condition.
What drives this coin's value
Condition and eye appeal are the primary factors. Since they were minted in high volume and demonetized, they possess very little collector value unless in perfect Mint State.
Grade assessment
Fine to Very Fine. The coin shows moderate wear and significant darkening/tarnish typical of aluminum-bronze circulating in a humid environment.
Mintage & rarity
Common; mintage for 1984 was 170,000,000. These were produced in massive quantities.
Authenticity & counterfeit red flags
Counterfeits are rare due to the low value of the coin. Verify the weight (approx 12g) and diameter (26.5mm). Ensure the Braille dots are raised and distinct.
Notable varieties & errors
There are no major widely recognized varieties for this specific year; however, some collectors look for minor die rotation errors.
Similar coins
It is frequently confused with other Mexican coins from the same era, such as the 50 Pesos (Palenque) or the 20 Pesos (Guadalupe Victoria).
Care & preservation
Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning or polishing as it removes the original surface; handle by the edges to prevent skin oils from causing tarnishing.
