{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}The 1955-1956 10 Peso Mexican Silver Coin honors Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a Catholic priest who became a key figure in Mexicos fight for independence. With a silver content of 90% and a weight close to one ounce, the coin gained the nickname Hidalgo Grande. Today, these coins in About Uncirculated (AU) or Extremely Fine (XF) condition are available at BGASC.
Highlights:
Each coin comes individually packaged in a protective flip. Made with 90% silver and 10% copper, the 1955-1956 10 Peso Mexican Silver Coin was part of Mexicos iconic Hidalgo series. We cannot guarantee the date or whether the coin you receive is AU or XF condition, as all selections are made at random after payment clears.
Obverse
On the obverse of these coins, you will find Mexicos national emblem: a golden eagle perched on a cactus while battling a serpent. A wreath frames the lower portion, with inscriptions in Spanish identifying the country of issue and coin details.
Reverse
The reverse features the left-facing portrait of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla. He is honored as the Father of Mexican Independence for his role in leading the first calls for independence from Spain.
History
Miguel Hidalgo was born in 1753 in Guanajuato and became known for his education, progressive thinking, and advocacy for indigenous and mixed-race communities. As a parish priest, he encouraged agriculture, education, and local industries, even when these activities clashed with Spanish colonial laws.
