Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla was a famous figure in the lead-up to the Mexican Revolution. His effigy graced various gold and silver peso coins from the Mexican Mint in the 20th century, including silver pesos in the 1950s. Born in 1753 in Guanajuato, Hidalgo was an educated and progressive thinker who questioned colonial authority and championed the rights of indigenous peoples and mestizos. Today, 1951-1954 5 Peso Mexican Silver Coins in AU or XF condition are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
On September 16, 1810, Hidalgo issued his famous “Grito de Dolores” (Cry of Dolores), a passionate call to arms that ignited the Mexican independence movement. Leading a diverse army of indigenous peoples, mestizos, and criollos, he achieved early military successes but ultimately faced defeat at the Battle of Calderón Bridge in January 1811. Captured while fleeing north, Hidalgo was executed by Spanish authorities on July 30, 1811, but his martyrdom only strengthened the independence cause he had initiated, which would ultimately succeed a decade later.
