The history of Mexican Silver coins

The history of Mexican Silver coins is strongly tied to the history of the oldest mint in North America: La Casa de Moneda de Mexico, also known as the Mexican Mint. The Mexican Mint was opened in 1535 by Spanish viceroy Antonio de Mendoza. The first Silver coins produced by Casa de Moneda included the Silver Eight Real and the Silver Peso, which was used not in Mexico, the Americas and even Asia. These Silver coins formed the basis of modern currencies including the U.S. dollar and Japanese yen. Since then, the Mexican Mint is most known for their Silver Libertad series, depicting well-known and iconic Mexican imagery.
