Description from the seller
MEXICO. Mexico City. 25 Pesos. 1968.
- Value: 25 Pesos.
- Year: 1968.
- Inscriptions: Obverse: DIOS DE LA LLUVIA (stylized figure) · JUEGOS DE LA XIX OLIMPIADA MEXICO 1968. Reverse: ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS · national coat of arms with an eagle and a snake.
- Grade: MS65 (NGC).
Silver commemorative coin of the Mexico 1968 Olympic Games, featuring on the obverse a stylized pre-Hispanic figure in motion, inspired by Mesoamerican art and associated with the rain god, accompanied by the Olympic rings and the event’s legend. The reverse shows the national coat of arms of Mexico with the eagle devouring a serpent on a cactus, executed in a classic and well-defined style. The specimen stands out for its excellent condition, with sharp relief, broad fields with uniform satin-brightness and minimal contact marks, offering a very attractive and representative appearance of this popular commemorative issue.
Disclaimer: For orders shipped outside the European Union, I want to leave absolutely clear that I do ship from Spain, which means that if the package is sent to any country outside the European Union, and/or inside EU that has special tax agreement (example: Canary Islands), it might be stopped in your local customs and they might ask you to pay taxes. This is a customs legal procedure and it is completely out of our control. Thanks for your understanding.
