1955 Cinco 5 pesos Mexican gold coin

In 1910 Mexico celebrated the Centennial of the beginning of its War of Independence with Spain. To commemorate the event, a giant column was erected in the middle of Mexico City with a statue of “El Angel de la Independencia”, “The Angel of Independence”, sitting atop. This 6.7-meter statue, constructed of Bronze and Gold, represents the “Winged Victory”, a Greek symbol for the goddess Nike (Victory). In her right hand the Angel holds a luarel crown, symbolizing Victory, while in her left she holds a broken chain, symbolizing Freedom.

First minted in 1921, the 50 pesos gold coin honors the Centennial of the successful end of Mexico’s War of Independence. “El Angel” is pictured on the coin opposite the national coat of arms. The Mexican coat of arms depicts the Mexican golden eagle devouring a snake while perched atop a cactus. Interestingly, the 50 Pesos, 10 Pesos, and 5 Pesos gold coins all feature the eagle facing forward, an antiquated version of the coat of arms developed in the French Style in the late 1800’s.

The 10 Pesos coins (as do the 5 Pesos coins) feature miguel on the reverse, considered to be the chief instigator of the Mexican revolution and the “Father of the Nation”. In open defiance of Spanish rule, he united the downtrodden and indigenous peasants in a revolt in 1910, thus beginning the War of Independence. Hidalgo was captured shortly after the uprising began and was publicly executed. His remains are now interred in a mausoleum at the base of the column mentioned above.
