Mexico Advances 2026 World Cup Commemorative Coins With Senate Vote Set for Tuesday

Overview

• The Chamber of Deputies and key Senate commissions approved a plan for three coins: a 25‑peso gold piece, a 10‑peso silver piece, and a 20‑peso bimetallic piece.
• The approved specs include 0.999 purity for the gold coin (7.776 g, 23 mm) and silver coin (31.103 g, 40 mm), with the bimetallic coin at 12.67 g and 30 mm.
• All coins will carry the national coat of arms on the obverse, with Banco de México to define World Cup‑themed reverse designs that display the denominations.
• Legislation gives Banxico up to 90 days to present final designs, with minting authorized to begin 30 days after approval to target pre‑World Cup availability.
• The bimetallic 20‑peso coin will be dodecagonal and use two alloys, and lawmakers framed the series as a symbol of national identity and a draw for collectors and savers, with calls to reflect indigenous heritage in the designs.
