Nuevas Victorias Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) How about creating a cultural set for the four Mexican small pieces that are part of the 2011 cultural set? There were only four coins minted (2000 each). The obverse features the national arms of Mexico. The reverses differ on all four coins but commemorate the heritage of Mexico. One of the coins features various motives including a pyramid, a church and an aqueduct, along with a cacao pod and communion wafers. Each is comprised of 1.25 grams of gold with a purity of 75%. Another motive features main trades during its colony years, including from Europe a horse, wheat, religion and metal money; form Mexico - cacao, corn, maguey, and the gold trade. A third motive features a man holding a cacao bean. The last one features two profile heads (a native Mexican and a Spanish conquistador), along with a fruiting cactus and European wheat (not featured below). 2874810-042 2874810-043 2874810-044 Edited May 1 by Nuevas Victorias More details Ali E. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Sounds like a great custom set, you could do a nice write up to explain the origins of the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This type of set is best represented in a Custom NGC Registry set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuevas Victorias Posted May 2 Author Share Posted May 2 Much appreciated for your consideration. I wanted to ask because NGC created a custom set for the Meixco 2 onza fusion proof collection from 1992 in which only five coins existed. And these coins are more easily collected in my opinion because they are smaller in value and mintages are high enough. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
