Mexican Gold Pesos

Gold Mexican Pesos are popular coins because of their (usually) low markup. I plan on doing a more complete article on gold pesos but, in the mean time, here are some basic facts.

The largest gold peso is the 50 peso coin. It contains 1.2057 troy ounces of gold or about 20% more than the one-ounce Gold American Eagle.

The Mexican 20 peso gold coin is next with .4823 troy ounces of gold, followed by the 10 peso gold coin with .2411 troy ounces of gold.

The 5 peso gold coin contains .12057 troy ounces of gold, the 2.5 gold peso has .0603 troy ounces of gold. Last is the Mexican 2 peso gold coin with a gold content of .0483. These smaller coins can command a higher premium so shop with care if you decide to invest in any of Mexico's gold pesos.

Happy investing.
