The Mexican 50 Pesos gold coin, commonly known as the Centenarian, is a renowned bullion coin first issued in 1921 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Mexico's independence. Struck in 90% gold, it has a total weight of 41.67 grams, containing 37.5 grams of pure gold, and features an impressive diameter of about 37 mm.

Its obverse depicts the iconic Winged Victory holding a laurel wreath and broken chains, with the volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl in the background. The reverse shows the Mexican coat of arms, an eagle perched on a cactus with a serpent in its beak. The edge bears the motto “INDEPENDENCIA Y LIBERTAD.”

Valued for its large size, historical appeal, and the high gold content, the Centenary is a popular choice among investors and collectors alike.
