First minted in 1921, at world oldest MINT, honors the Centennial of the successful end of Mexico's War of Independence. "El Angel" is pictured on the coin opposite the national coat of arms. The Mexican coat of arms depicts the Mexican golden eagle devouring a snake while perched atop a cactus. Interestingly, the 50 Pesos, 10 Pesos, and 5 Peso coins all feature the eagle facing forward, an antiquated version of the coat of arms developed in the French Style in the late 1800's. Consider the father of Mexico Miguel Hidalgo appears on the front of the coin.
