1 peso
The 1 Mexican peso coin minted between 1970 and 1983 is a significant numismatic piece due to its design and variants. The obverse of the coin shows the national coat of arms of Mexico, which depicts an eagle perched on a cactus with a snake in its beak, looking to the left, accompanied by the inscription "United Mexican States" forming a semicircle on the coat of arms. The reverse of the coin presents the face value next to a portrait of the hero José María Teclo Morelos y Pavón facing left. To the right of the portrait is the mint mark, an "M" indicating that the coin was minted at the Casa de Moneda de México, and below it is the year of mintage.
1 peso variants depending on the issue date
This series of coins is particularly interesting for collectors because of the several variants that exist. For example, there are differences in the digits of the number 8, which may appear open or closed, as well as in the typography of the dates, which may be wider or narrower, and in some cases thicker or thinner. These variations can be found in different issue years, such as 1970, 1975, 1977, 1978, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982 and 1983. Among these variants, some are rarer than others, which increases their value in the collectors' market. For example, coins with wide daters or closed 8's tend to be more sought after, which can make their value higher compared to the more common versions. The richness of detail and variety in these 1 peso coins make them a highly prized object of study and collection in Mexican numismatics.
