La Casa de Moneda de México (the Mexican Mint) was established in 1535 and is the oldest mint in the Americas. Apart from manufacturing all the circulation coinage for Mexico, the mint also strikes coins in the internationally popular one troy ounce (1oz) of silver format. The best known of these is the Libertad series of bullion coins, but occasionally the mint issues commemorative silver coins too.
This Silver Proof coin commemorates the Bicentennial (200th Anniversary) of Mexico's Independence.
The Mexican War of Independence (Spanish: Guerra de Independencia de México, 16 September 1810 - 27 September 1821) was an armed conflict and political process resulting in Mexico's independence from Spain. It was not a single, coherent event, but local and regional struggles that occurred within the same period, and can be considered a revolutionary civil war.
When Spanish liberals overthrew the autocratic rule of King Ferdinand VII in 1820, conservatives in New Spain (Mexico) saw political independence as a way to maintain their position. Former royalists and old insurgents allied under the Plan of Iguala and forged the Army of the Three Guarantees. The momentum of independence saw the collapse of the royal government in Mexico and the Treaty of Córdoba ended the conflict.
The mainland of New Spain was organised as the First Mexican Empire, led by Agustín de Iturbide. This ephemeral Catholic monarchy was overthrown and a federal republic was declared in 1823 and codified in the Constitution of 1824. After some Spanish reconquest attempts, including the expedition of Isidro Barradas in 1829, Spain under the rule of Queen Isabella II recognised the independence of Mexico in 1836. |
