Casa de Moneda de México Pesos Coin Jewelry

This piece of jewelry features an authentic or replica Mexican Peso coin, characterized by the 'Estados Unidos Mexicanos' inscription and the iconic national coat of arms featuring an eagle perched on a cactus devouring a snake. The coin itself originates from the Casa de Moneda de México, the oldest mint in the Americas, established in 1535 by the Spanish Crown.

While the coin is a product of the Mexican national mint, the conversion into jewelry (such as this chain-mounted piece) is typically performed by independent artisans or jewelry manufacturing companies within Mexico. The brand is inextricably linked to the cultural heritage of Mexico and its official state-owned minting institution.

Ownership of the designs and the minting process remains under the jurisdiction of the Mexican government through the Casa de Moneda de México. As a sovereign entity, it produces legal tender and commemorative pieces that are frequently repurposed into traditional and modern jewelry by local gold and silversmiths, particularly in regions like Taxco, which is famous for its silver craftsmanship.
