The Centenario was minted by the Casa de Moneda de Mexico in 1921 to mark the 100th anniversary of Mexico's independence from Spain. The 50-peso gold coin enjoys great popularity and is valued as a bullion coin in both South America and Europe.
The obverse depicts the Goddess of Victory with a flowing skirt and outstretched wings. In the background are two famous Mexican volcanoes, Iztaccihuatl and Popocatepl.
On the reverse is the eagle of the Mexican coat of arms, shown frontally with wings outstretched.
