#MEXICAN RARE COINS SERIES#
The first thirteen coins of the series were issued in 2008 of them, seven commemorate individuals related to the Mexican War of Independence and six celebrate people of the Mexican Revolution. "MÉXICO 2010" is printed at the very bottom of the obverse, separated from the legend above it by two bullet points.
Both inscriptions begin upwards at the left periphery, arch downward at the top of the coin, and conclude at the piece's right boundary.
Coins commemorating the Mexican Revolution bear the text "CENTENARIO DE LA REVOLUCIÓN" (English: "Centenary of the Revolution") along the upper rim, whereas those celebrating Mexican independence feature the legend "BICENTENARIO DE LA INDEPENDENCIA" (English: "Bicentenary of Independence"). On all of the pieces, a caption is arched around the boundary of the aluminum-bronze center. The only exception to both orientations is the 2008 coin of Pancho Villa (1878–1923), which shows the value and year above his image and the mint mark to the left. However, a significant number (13) are oriented with the year and mint mark on the left and the value on the right. On a majority of the pieces (23), the value "$5" is inscribed to the left of the commemorated person's likeness, while the "Mo" mint mark of the Mexican Mint and the year of minting are struck to the right of the image. Depending on whether the coin was issued for the centenary of the Revolution or the bicentenary of independence, either a patriot or a revolutionary is displayed in the middle of the reverse. Printed along the upper rim of the coin, in the outer ring, is the Spanish state title of Mexico, "ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS" ( English: "United Mexican States"), which commences in an upwards direction at the left periphery, arches downward at the top of the piece, and concludes at the right rim. At the bottom of the arms, which is engraved in the stainless steel outer ring, are oak ( Quercus) and laurel branches tied together by a ribbon. Featured in the aluminum-bronze center of the obverse are the primary features of the coat of arms of Mexico – which consists of a left-facing Golden Eagle ( Aquila chrysaetos) perched on a prickly pear cactus ( Opuntia) while devouring a snake ( Serpentes).
They have coin alignment and a plain edge, and like most coins, are round in shape. The coins have a mass of 7.07 grams, a diameter of 26 millimeters, and a thickness of 2 millimeters. Each of the coins is bimetallic, bearing a center composed of an aluminum-bronze alloy and a ring made of stainless steel.
