History

The Mexican Gold 1 Peso coin first appeared in 1870 during the period known as the Second Mexican Republic. This was a time of major political change for the country after the downfall of the Second Mexican Empire and the death of Emperor Maximilian. With the establishment of a modern republic, Mexico also introduced updated forms of national coinage.

While silver 1 Peso coins were first issued in 1869, the gold version entered production one year later. Gold 1 Peso coins remained in production until 1905, with several branch mints across Mexico participating in the striking of these coins over the course of more than three decades.
