Agustín de Iturbide History:

Agustín de Iturbide played a central role in the final phase of the Mexican War of Independence. In 1821, he helped formulate the Plan of Iguala and became a leading figure in the movement that successfully established Mexico’s independence from Spain.

Iturbide served as President of the Regency of Mexico before being proclaimed Emperor Agustín I in 1822. His reign was brief, ending with his abdication in 1823, but his role in Mexico’s transition from Spanish colony to independent nation remains historically significant.

The combination of a 1 oz silver format, matte finish, historically significant Iturbide theme, and perfect NGC MS70 Matte grade makes it particularly appealing to collectors of Mexican medals, independence-era themes, and low-mintage modern issues.
