The eagle perched on a cactus eating a snake is a design seen on all Mexican coins. It dates back to Aztec times when the Mexica or Aztecs moved into the valley of Mexico. When searching for a place to build their capital, they saw an eagle perched on a cacti eating a snake. They called the site, Tenochtitlan, which became their capital and would remain their capital for the next 200 years until the Spanish conquest. Tenochtitlan got its name from Tenoch who was the leader of the Aztecs at that time.
The best Gold coins ever are the one's I hold in my hands....IMHO

If the ones you would see in the Goonies, are Spanish colonized Mexico. The Mint in Mexico city was established in 1535, the first mint in the Western hemisphere by Conquistadores for the king of España. Most pirate themed teasures, depending their set sailing of origin, from Mexico & from South American countries. So depending on the ship, the year/era of mintage, origin of the mint/country on the coin would determine the type of coins in the Goonies! The ship was called El Infierno, The Inferno...stole the treasure in 1632 with doubloons, jewelry, gems & other coins.
This is definitely up there as one of my favorites as well. I was fortunate enough to have bought one at spot from Provident 2 years ago. In hindsight, I should have gotten more, but they would have been the re-strike version anyway. Interesting that the 200 year anniversary is coming up next year. Hope they make a special commemorative release at that time.
What a great video on 50 pesos. Love to see others appreciate Mexico's beautiful gold. Nicely done.
Great design indeed, will definitely get one for my stack!! (did watch this video all the way to the end, like every other video from you)

They are beautiful, I picked mine up in Monterey Mexico in the mid eighty's gave $400.00 for the coins, the only mistake I made was not buying ten a month for about two years. Absolutely beautiful coins.
Iturbide who actually made Mexico independent from Spain is regarded as a traitor, while Father Hidalgo and Morelos are credited with the independence of Mexico. This is why if you have any Mexican coins, you will always see Hidalgo and Morelos on them. 1810 is celebrated and 1821 is forgotten. The role of Iturbide in Mexican Independence is relatively forgotten.

Regarding 2:42, the Mexico gold 50 pesos were not issued continually from 1921 until 1947. Instead there was a hiatus from 1932 until 1942. Their minting resumed in 1943.

@@BackyardBullion For your information the year with the lowest mintage for this coin is the year 1943, not 1921. Hence besides its unique feature of lacking the 50 pesos on its face, it is also the year with the lowest mintage, making it doubly up collectable. For whatever reason they only minted 89,400 coins that year.

I recently picked up a 1900 half eagle, very high mintage but beautiful coin. I was inspired from some of your older videos featuring pre 33 gold. I've enjoyed vintage American coinage since I was a kid though (half dollars). Older gold coins certainly hold their appeal. I've also considered buying a new (2018) Libertad. I had one online to buy, but gold prices have gotten pretty rough. Might just keep putting money back and find something nice at a cheaper price later. I have a suspicion one of these days gold will hit $2000. But I also know gold always inevitably dips. Thanks for the upload, stay safe
never expected it... but, it is my fav. coin too....... I like the more modern obverse (~2000's)

Most people use the word Mexica and Aztec interchangeably. Mexica is the term the people known as the Aztecs called themselves. More specifically it was used to describe the ruling class, the ruler and the aristocracy. Aztec is the broader term to describe various tribes that banded together to form the Aztec Empire. The name Mexico is derived from the word Mexica and Aztec is derived from Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs meaning " people of the heron place" where the Aztecs came from before moving into the Valley of Mexico.

Hi sir i have 2 coins 1821/1947
Yeah they're awesome. I don't think I'll ever have one unless gold price falls. Don't think any local stores have had it or the vente peses for quite some time either so accuiring it with postage an all is just buying gold too expensive. Other great coins are French 100 franc (yeah quite high numismatic value) and personally I like the older Krugerrands - partly for personal reasons of my time in South Africa when I was kid but I also like the springbok very much. There's however something about the newer Krugerrands that just isn't as nice as the older ones. I got a 1983 and a 2018 both in very nice condition. While the 2018 in some respects has a higher degree of finish and "security micro text" it also clearly shines though that someone remade the design on computer where the older ones is clearly an analouge job made the old fashioned sculpting way - the modern one is lifeless in comparison. The font on the newer also looks like some serif font you'll find in Word etc. where as the older style is more vintage type writer font. Especielly the "U" isn't as nice as the older one. But for the prices. Even though I just bought two Danish 20 kroner (just over 1/4oz each) I've actually been hoping for the last 8 years for the prices to take a hit - that is how long I've been interested in gold and silver. The lower the price the better - just let the price fall with no bottom so I can buy more I won't be sad :D I've no plan selling my gold before many years from now so I don't mind falling prices.

Before Father Hidalgo decided to revolt against Spain, he was rumored to have seen the Virgin Mary in a vision who appeared to him telling him to raise the banner of rebellion and protect the Indians from the unscrupulous Spaniards who exploited them. She appeared in a dress of gold, hence was born the Angel of Independence, the Virgin of Guadalupe who became a symbol of independence.

@@BackyardBullion For me this difference is "normal", here in German all 5 and 10 Mark coins had these variants. Some collecters care about it if they want both variants as a set.
Mexico revolted against Spain in 1810 under Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a parish priest who was put to death by the Spanish in 1811. One of his supporters, Jose Maria Morelos y Pavon took up the baton for independence. He proclaimed Mexico a republic but he also was put to death in 1816. The Spanish general who put Morelos to death was Gen Agustin de Iturbide, who ironically turned against the Spanish and proclaimed Mexico independent in 1821. A few months later, Iturbide proclaimed himself emperor of Mexico and began a 10 month despotic reign. So while Mexico became independent in 1821, the independence of Mexico is celebrated in 1810 rather than 1821
