Coin Highlights:
When you order 1 oz Mexican Onza Balance Scale Coins, you could receive a date range from 1978-1980. Please note, we are unable to cherry-pick dates for your order. These coins are made of sterling silver, which means they have a purity level .925. They were struck at the historic Mexican Mint, which is currently located in San Luis Potosi. They will arrive to you housed in a protective flip.
The obverse of 1 oz Mexican Silver Onza Coins features a historic coin press. Known as de balancín, this device was used to strike the first coins at the Mexican Mint. It was eventually replaced by steam-powered and electric machinery. Inscriptions on the obverse field include the year of release and the words Casa de Moneda de Mexico.
On the reverse side of 1 oz Mexican Silver Onzas there is the image of a balance scale. This vintage design is a nod to the scales that might have been used to weigh out the silver before minting began. There are also inscriptions on the reverse side reading Una Onza Troy de Plata Pura Ley .925 Peso 33.625 Gramos. The Mexican mintmark is also located on the reverse.
Established in May of 1535 following a decree from the Spanish Crown, The Mexican Mint in some ways pioneered modern coinage. With the Piece of Eight and the Mexican Peso coins, the mint gave the world a model for a popular currency that would inspire the creation of coins such as the US Dollar, the Chinese Yuan, and the Japanese Yen.
