It contains one ounce of .999 pure silver and happens to be in high demand by lovers of beautiful coins everywhere.</font></span></font></p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; <font size="2"><span style="color: #1A1A1A"><font face="ArialMT">The coins obverse design memorializes Mexico’s war of independence with Spain by depicting a landmark statue in Mexico&nbsp;&nbsp; City, “<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_%C3%81ngel" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_%C3%81ngel" rel="nofollow"><b>El Angel de la Independencia</b></a>.” A crown in her right hand symbolizes victory. While in her left is a broken chain representing Mexico’s freedom from Spanish rule. Located behind her are two volcanoes.</font></span></font></p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; <font size="2"><span style="color: #1A1A1A"><font face="ArialMT">The reverse of the coin displays multiple versions of the Mexican <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Mexico" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Mexico" rel="nofollow">coat of arms</a>, which is a symbol for Mexico. The center of the design commemorates the historically significant founding of Mexico City with the image of an eagle devouring a snake while standing on a prickly pear cactus; an image that was taken as a sign from the gods, by an ancient tribe. </font></span></font></p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; <font size="2"><span style="color: #1A1A1A"><font face="ArialMT">This coin is stunningly beautiful and would be a wonderful addition to any collection.</font></span></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
