The Gold Centenario was originally introduced in 1921 to honor the 100th anniversary of Mexico’s independence from Spain. Rather than serving as circulating currency, it was conceived as a national commemorative gold medal, emphasizing symbolism, artistry, and intrinsic gold value. Its powerful imagery and substantial gold content quickly elevated it to international prominence.
