The Mexican Silver 1 Peso from the 1957 to 1967 series is a circulated silver coin struck at the Mexico City Mint and issued under the authority of the Mexican government. Each coin contains 0.0514 troy ounces of silver at a purity of .100, making it a compact but genuinely silver-bearing piece from a significant era in Mexican coinage. We carry these coins in XF condition, meaning pieces show light wear on the highest relief points while retaining strong detail and clear design elements throughout.
Collectors and buyers interested in world silver coinage frequently seek out this series for its historical significance, recognizable design, and modest silver content. The denomination circulated actively during its production run, and surviving examples in XF grade represent coins that saw some use but were not heavily worn.
The Mexico City Mint, identified by its "Mo" mint mark, is one of the oldest operating mints in the Western Hemisphere, with continuous production dating back to the colonial era. By the mid-twentieth century, the mint was producing a standardized range of circulating coinage for the Mexica

Collectors and buyers interested in world silver coinage frequently seek out this series for its historical significance, recognizable design, and modest silver content. The denomination circulated actively during its production run, and surviving examples in XF grade represent coins that saw some use but were not heavily worn.
The Mexico City Mint, identified by its "Mo" mint mark, is one of the oldest operating mints in the Western Hemisphere, with continuous production dating back to the colonial era. By the mid-twentieth century, the mint was producing a standardized range of circulating coinage for the Mexican government, with the 1 Peso denomination serving as a workhorse of everyday commerce throughout the 1950s and 1960s.
The 1957 to 1967 Silver 1 Peso series replaced earlier heavier silver peso compositions as Mexico gradually adjusted its coinage in response to rising silver prices and shifting monetary policy. This series maintained silver content at .100 fineness, allowing continued production of a silver-bearing circulating coin during a transitional period for Mexican currency. By 1967, the composition was phased out entirely as the country moved toward base metal coinage, making this series the final chapter of silver content in the circulating 1 Peso denomination.
The obverse of the coin features the portrait of José María Morelos y Pavón, one of Mexico's most revered independence leaders. His image is rendered in left-facing profile relief, surrounded by inscriptions identifying the denomination and republic. The portrait carries strong national symbolism and has remained one of the most recognizable figures in Mexican numismatics.
The reverse displays the Mexican national coat of arms, depicting an eagle perched on a cactus and grasping a serpent in its beak and talons. This iconic imagery is framed by an oak and laurel wreath and accompanied by the national motto. The composition is well-centered and precisely struck, with the relief work on XF examples remaining clear and defined despite light circulation wear on the highest points.
At 0.0514 troy ounces of silver, the Mexico Silver 1 Peso is a notably small silver holding on a per-coin basis. That modest size makes individual pieces approachable at a low nominal price point, which appeals to collectors building type sets or buyers who want to acquire world silver in smaller increments without committing to larger one-ounce pieces.
The fractional nature of this coin also makes it practical for those interested in handling and studying circulated silver coinage without significant outlay. For collectors focused on mid-century Mexican silver or Latin American coinage broadly, the 1957-1967 Peso series offers an accessible entry point into a well-documented chapter of Mexican monetary history.
Each coin in this series was produced at the Mexico City Mint to the specifications established by the Mexican government, with a documented silver composition of .100 fineness and a standardized diameter and weight profile. The Mo mint mark on each piece serves as a direct attribution to that facility and is a recognized identifier among world coin specialists and grading services.
We verify the authenticity, weight, and purity of products before they are made available to our customers. As authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, we maintain standards consistent with those recognized across the professional numismatic community. Buyers seeking additional third-party certification for individual pieces can pursue grading through either service based on their preferences.
These coins are graded XF, or Extremely Fine, indicating pieces with light wear confined to the higher relief areas such as the cheekbone and hair details on the Morelos portrait and the eagle's wing tips on the reverse. Overall, the designs remain sharp, with clear legends, strong field definition, and visible surface texture in most protected areas. XF represents a solid mid-to-upper circulated grade that appeals to both collectors and buyers seeking attractive, historically intact examples.
Individual coins ship in protective plastic flips to prevent additional contact or surface damage in transit. Quantities consistent with standard tube packaging will ship in a tube, while larger bulk orders matching sealed box quantities ship in a sealed box. Because specific inner and outer pack counts for this series can vary, we recommend contacting us directly if packaging format is important for your order. These are circulated coins acquired from the secondary market, and minor contact marks, light toning, or handling signs consistent with XF-grade circulation are normal and expected. Such characteristics have no effect on the coin's silver content or its standing as a genuine example of the series.
The base price of a silver coin like this one is anchored to the current spot price of silver, adjusted to reflect the coin's actual silver content of 0.0514 troy ounces. Because the silver content is relatively modest, the premium on this coin above its melt value tends to reflect collector demand and numismatic interest in world coinage as much as it reflects the underlying metal price.
Condition plays a meaningful role in how these coins are priced within the secondary market. XF examples command a premium over heavily worn or cleaned pieces because of their stronger visual appeal and more complete design integrity. We display pricing transparently based on real-time market conditions so buyers can evaluate both the metal content component and the numismatic component clearly before purchasing.
Mid-twentieth century Mexican silver coinage trades actively within the world coin collector market and through secondary bullion channels, particularly among buyers with an interest in Latin American numismatics. The 1957-1967 1 Peso series is well-documented and widely recognized, which supports consistent demand in both collector and resale contexts.
We operate as a two-way market, meaning customers can both purchase and sell precious metals and numismatic items within the same platform. Considering liquidity before purchase is a practice we encourage, and our competitive buyback pricing structure is designed to support that approach. Understanding the bid/ask spread on a product like this, where collector demand can influence resale value as much as the silver spot price, is part of making an informed decision on both sides of the transaction.
This coin occupies a specific and clearly defined place in Mexican numismatic history as the final circulating silver 1 Peso series before base metal coinage took over. That historical distinction, combined with the coin's recognizable design featuring Morelos on the obverse and the national coat of arms on the reverse, makes it a meaningful addition to any world coin or Mexican coinage collection.
The XF grade strikes a practical balance for buyers who want coins with genuine visual appeal and strong detail retention without paying a premium for uncirculated examples. For collectors building a type set of twentieth-century Mexican silver, this series represents a logical and historically grounded acquisition. The modest silver content also keeps the per-coin cost accessible relative to heavier silver world coins.
We built this platform around the principle that precious metals and numismatic products should be bought and sold through a marketplace that prioritizes transparency, honest pricing, and long-term customer trust. Every product we carry is verified for authenticity before it reaches a customer, and our pricing reflects real-time market conditions rather than inflated retail margins. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau and memberships in both the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association reflect the standards we hold ourselves to across every transaction.
As authorized dealers for PCGS and NGC, we are embedded in the professional numismatic community in a way that reinforces our commitment to product integrity. Our two-way market model means we support customers not just at the point of purchase, but also when they decide it is time to sell. We accept a wide range of payment methods, offer reliable fulfillment, and provide responsive support from a team with genuine knowledge of both bullion and world coinage. The experience is designed to be straightforward from first inquiry through delivery.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across our catalog, including world silver coins like this 1957-1967 Mexico 1 Peso. Rather than relying on static retail price displays, Pro members transact at real-time wholesale market prices without additional dealer markups applied on top. This creates a more transparent pricing environment where premiums and spreads reflect actual supply and demand conditions rather than fixed retail structures.
Pro membership also includes real-time portfolio valuation using live wholesale bid pricing, which provides a more accurate picture of liquidation value than retail-based estimates. For buyers who want to better understand how premiums behave over time on world silver coinage, our proprietary market intelligence tools and product research capabilities offer a more data-driven way to evaluate purchases and track holdings with greater precision.
We support a broad range of payment methods to make every transaction as convenient and secure as possible. Customers can pay using major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover, as well as PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, and cryptocurrency through BitPay.

Whether you are purchasing a single XF example or multiple coins for a collection, the checkout process is designed to be straightforward with clear confirmation and reliable fulfillment. If you have questions about payment options or order processing, our support team is available to assist before and after your purchase.
