1947 Mexico Silver 5 Pesos Cuauhtemoc MS-65 PCGS
This impressive silver coin from 1947 represents a fascinating moment in mid-century Mexican numismatics. Minted by the Bank of Mexico, this five-peso piece is struck from 30 grams of 90 percent pure silver, yielding an actual silver weight of 0.8681 troy ounces. Measuring a substantial 40 millimeters in diameter, the coin belongs to a short-lived series produced only from 1947 to 1948, with this particular year seeing a mintage of 5,110,000 pieces. One side of the coin displays the traditional Mexican national coat of arms, surrounded by the inscription "ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS". On the other side, the design features the profile bust of Cuauhtemoc, the final Aztec ruler of Tenochtitlan, wearing a detailed ceremonial headdress. This specific specimen has been certified in an exceptional state of preservation, graded as Mint State 65 (MS-65), which highlights the sharp details of the intricate engraving.
