A couple of pesos with a portraits of Jose Morelos (Mexican Independence War hero).
1947's - silver .500
1950's - silver 300.

 

Peso 1945, silver .720.

 

50 centavos 1945, silver .720
20 centavos 1942, silver .720

I only have a couple. Found in dealers bargain bins.

 

Indeed, which is why not many are minted. The silver is definitely more popular than the gold. I would like to find a nice gold typeset of the most recent Onza issue, and then maybe do the fractional and multiples of the silver Onzas. They are beautiful coins. I also like some of the gold commemoratives that Mexico has put out, but they are a stinker to find and unfortunately they are not one of those items like paper money that you can get direct from the source without paying tax on it. I buy my newer Mexican paper money from someone in Mexico City, but generally with coins it is best to find someone north of the Rio Grande because of all the paperwork hassle.

 

I few i have out at moment

have some others (40% silvers) but they not handy these are
