Its combination of .999 fine silver, iconic Mexican imagery, and limited production makes it an excellent choice for collectors of Mexican-themed bullion, tribute rounds, and world silver issues. Although inspired by the historic 1917 20 Pesos, this piece is privately minted and should not be confused with the original Mexican government-issued gold coin.
