Gold Mexican 5 Peso

Mexican Gold 5 Peso History: 

The Mexican 5 Peso was issued from 1905-1955 from Banco de Mexico and minted at the Mexico City Mint.  It is the first coinage bearing a national hero, in this case Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla.   The Cinco Pesos gold coin is the third smallest denomination of pesos.  It is very appropriate for modest investments due to its affordability.  The Mexico 5 Pesos gold coins are well known for their high level of gold (90%) and copper (10%) which adds to its durability over time.
