Obverse

On the obverse side of these 2010 Mexican Gold Coins, you’ll find the timeless Mexican coat of arms, featuring a golden eagle perched atop a prickly pear cactus in battle with a serpent, with a wreath of oak and laurel below.

Reverse

The reverse side of 2010 200 Peso Mexican Gold Coins showcases Winged Victory, depicted in slight right-profile relief, holding a laurel crown high in her right hand while clutching a set of broken chains in her left, symbolizing self-governance and freedom from oppression.

History

The Mexican War of Independence was sparked by a combination of factors, including social inequality, political unrest, and the desire for autonomy from Spanish colonial rule. Grievances among the Mexican population included heavy taxation, limited economic opportunities, and discriminatory policies favoring Spanish-born individuals over native-born Mexicans.
