Overview

A bi-metallic coin featuring the Mexican National Coat of Arms (eagle perched on a cactus devouring a snake) with the text 'ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS' on the obverse.

Historical significance

Introduced as part of the currency reform in 1993 to address hyperinflation, where 1 'Nuevo Peso' replaced 1,000 old pesos. Coins minted between 1992 and 1995 carry the 'N$' symbol before the numeral.

Estimated value

$0.05 - $1.00 USD (Face value is approximately 0.05 USD)

Care & preservation

Store in a dry environment to prevent oxidation of the aluminum-bronze center. Avoid cleaning with abrasive chemicals which can damage the finish and reduce collector value.
