1964 Mexico 1 Peso – Silver Coin, XF

1964 Mexico 1 Peso Silver Issue

The 1964 Mexico 1 Peso is a classic mid-20th-century silver coin issued during a period of economic modernization and industrial growth in Mexico. Struck in .100 silver, this denomination represents one of the final circulating silver peso issues before base-metal coinage fully replaced precious metal currency in everyday use.

Because these coins were heavily circulated, well-preserved examples such as this XF specimen remain increasingly desirable among collectors of Latin American silver coinage.

Historical Background

During the 1960s, Mexico experienced significant economic development. Meanwhile, the national mint continued producing silver-alloy coinage for circulation. The 1964 Mexico 1 Peso reflects this transitional era when silver content remained present but gradually reduced compared to earlier issues.

As a result, these coins hold both historical and bullion-related interest.

Design Details

The obverse features the iconic Mexican national coat of arms — the eagle perched on a cactus devouring a serpent — surrounded by the inscription Estados Unidos Mexicanos. This powerful national symbol remains sharply defined on this XF example.

The reverse displays the denomination “1 Peso” along with the date 1964 and decorative elements typical of mid-century Mexican coin design. The layout is balanced, clean, and distinctly modern compared to earlier peso series.

Condition – Extremely Fine (XF)

This coin is preserved in Extremely Fine (XF) condition. Light, even wear appears on the highest points, yet most design elements remain sharp and fully readable.

Additionally, the surfaces show natural silver toning consistent with age, enhancing authenticity and visual appeal.

• Mexican silver coinage
