🕊️ Design & Heritage
-
Obverse: Portrait of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, father of Mexico’s independence, facing left with inscription “DOS Y MEDIO PESOS” and year of issue.
-
Reverse: Mexican coat of arms—eagle devouring a serpent above a cactus, encircled by “ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS.” A small "Mo" mintmark denotes the Mexico City Mint.
The 2½ Peso embodies Mexico’s rich numismatic history and was widely circulated in the early‑mid 20th century. 1945‑dated restrikes (officially re‑minted through the 1970s) make up the majority of available pieces, prized for their near‑uncirculated quality.
