Yes, there are many silver Mexican coins, however, when compared to other countries, Mexico used lower purity silver in their more modern coins and often times different coins had different cut-off dates for silver. For example, until 1918, Mexican Peso coins were made out of 90.3% silver, in 1918 that was reduced to 80% silver, in 1920 it was reduced again to 72% silver, in 1947 it was reduced yet again to 50% silver, in 1950 it was reduced to 30% silver, and in 1957 the coin was only 10% silver until 1970 when it was replaced with a copper-nickel coin containing no silver. Mexico also has many modern bullion coins struck in silver.
Not sure but I have a couple 30 centavo silver coins. Like American silver dollars, they are 90% silver.
Regular money has no silver; commemorative coins known as "Plata Libertad" have 99.9% of silver contents.
It depends on the date. Some are silver, some aren't.
Mexico makes silver and gold Peso's
I have a 1934 "un peso" silver 720 peso, what is it worth?
it weights 16.66666667 grams and its content in silver is 12 grams. :) 16.6666667 X .720 = 12
A 1921 Mexican 1 Peso coin contains 0.3856 troy ounces of silver.
0720 oz
The Mexican Un Peso was struck in (10%) .100 silver from 1957-1967 by the Mexico City Mint - the oldest mint in North America. These coins weigh 16 grams and contain 1.6 grams of pure silver. To figure out the dollar amount of silver in each coin, divide the price of silver by 31.1 and multiply by 1.6.
It literally means "weight". When it became a currency, a peso meant "un peso de plata" or a "silver weight".
"Un Peso" is Spanish for "One Peso."
The last silver 100-peso coins were minted in 1977, so that is the approximate date when Mexico dropped off from the silver standard.
No silver in these, so it depends on the condition of the coin.
The Mexican currency is the Peso.
Since it's silver! Between $20-$30. Uncirculated, about $50 or more.
