Overview
- Banxico began offering the eight gold and silver collector coins for sale in the last week of May through its national distributors including Casa de Moneda and MIDE, selected commercial banks, and international channels.
- The central bank ordered 10,000 gold and 34,500 silver coins per design for four designs, totaling about 178,000 precious‑metal pieces, and up to 25 million of each 20‑peso bimetallic model for a potential 100 million circulating pieces.
- Thirty million 20‑peso commemorative coins have already been distributed into the banking system and can be obtained by exchange at participating branches using Banxico’s UbiCanjeMX locator and at two Banxico exchange centers in Mexico City.
- Official retail prices for the gold and silver coins were not uniformly published at the time of reporting and media and numismatists estimate silver pieces in the low thousands of pesos and gold pieces in the roughly 20,000‑peso range.
- Collectors face limited stock, possible per‑person limits and branch‑by‑branch availability which could drive secondary‑market resales and concentrated demand for city‑design variants tied to Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey.
