Small in diameter, but made of genuine fine gold: the 5 Mexican Peso Centenario Gold shows how handy a tangible asset can be. With its 3.75 g of fine gold, it is one of the lighter gold coins and is well suited to building up a reserve little by little. On top of that, its design recalls Mexico's path to independence.

The portrait of Miguel Hidalgo

The reverse depicts Miguel Hidalgo, who is revered in Mexico as the father of independence. With his portrait, the coin recalls the birth of an independent Mexico. Alongside its metal value, it therefore has a narrative side that collectors in particular appreciate.

Eagle, cactus and a wreath of oak and laurel

The obverse belongs to the eagle, which stands on a cactus and holds a snake in its beak. Oak and laurel branches wrap around the design as a wreath; they are regarded as symbols of victory. Then there is the inscription ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS, in other words the United Mexican States. Despite the coin's small size, the design is struck in remarkable detail.

Why small gold coins help in a crisis

When a currency loses trust, what counts is a medium of exchange that is recognised all over the world. A coin with 3.75 g of fine gold fulfils this role in a size that also suits smaller transactions. For crisis protection, it thus takes on the role of small change in gold, which you can use selectively while larger coins and bars remain untouched.

A metal that keeps its value

Gold is remarkably durable: it retains its properties over long periods and has lost none of its lustre over thousands of years. Even in antiquity it was a benchmark for trade and prosperity. Paper money is created by decision of a central bank; gold, by contrast, remains scarce, and no decision can increase its quantity. That is why this coin is a solid inflation hedge for savings that are meant to last. For private individuals in Germany, a gain on the sale remains tax-free, provided that more than one year passes between purchase and sale.

The case for the small coin from Mexico

1. Easy to use: Individual coins can be exchanged or sold without breaking into a larger reserve.
2. Real fine gold: 3.75 g of pure gold at a fineness of 900/1,000.
3. Two strong symbols: the portrait of Hidalgo and the coat of arms of Mexico on a single coin.
4. Handy format: 19 mm in diameter, suitable for coin frames, collector's albums or a safe.

Small coins keep big plans flexible.
