1979 Mexico Silver 100 Pesos BU
This striking silver coin from Mexico, minted in 1979, represents a fascinating era of modern Mexican coinage. Struck at the historic Mexico City Mint, denoted by the famous 'Mo' mint mark, this 100 Pesos denomination is preserved in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, maintaining its original luster and sharp details. The coin is crafted from 0.720 fine silver, containing 0.6430 troy ounces of pure precious metal. Its design is defined by bold, clear lettering that highlights its metallic composition and national identity. The inscriptions prominently feature the denomination 'CIEN PESOS' alongside the year '1979'. Additional text on the coin declares its purity with the words 'PLATA PURA LEY 720', indicating its silver content, while the national origin is marked by the phrase 'ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS'.
