Ámbito (opens in a new tab) (7 October 2026, 22:54) headlines Mexican coins with the highest October quotes, sellable for up to 100,000 pesos. The body links no listing, no firm, and no closed sale. It presents the figures as prices on retail sites and at conventions. They are not a Banxico tariff and not a bank’s. These coins are not in Notofilia’s virtual collection.
The ranges Ámbito prints
- 20 pesos for the Independence Bicentennial, Family C1, dodecagonal, uncirculated and with original lustre: 20,000 to 90,000 pesos.
- 50 centavos of 1993 with the year engraved as 1893, Family B: 50,000 to 100,000 pesos.
- 20 pesos of Emiliano Zapata, with “Tierra y Libertad”, above 80,000 pesos if it keeps the issue packaging or capsule.
- 5 pesos of the Bicentennial and the Revolution, uncirculated, with Madero or Iturbide: Ámbito says they multiply face value tens of thousands of times. It gives no closed peso figure.
The ceiling of 100,000 pesos belongs to that 50 centavos. Another note already recorded ads for the Bicentennial 20 pesos at up to 4 million. Both figures live in the press and in advertisements. Each one needs its own proof.
Before a sale
Ámbito writes that age alone does not support a five- or six-figure sum and that an expert has to vouch for condition, rarity, and authenticity. It lists grade, mint errors, mintage, and demand. It names no expert and no time of day for the check. Anyone holding one of these coins can compare it with the Banxico catalogue and with a dealer, and read the headline as what it is: a press range.
