Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe – 1 AVDP Oz .999 Fine Copper Round | Legado Mexicano Series
Description:
Faith, identity, and national heritage converge in one of the most revered images in Mexican history. Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe continues the Legado Mexicano Series, a collection dedicated to honoring the enduring legacy of Mexico—its people, its culture, its folklore, its coinage, and the pivotal moments that shaped its spirit.
The obverse presents a beautifully engraved interpretation of Our Lady of Guadalupe, standing in serene devotion with hands clasped in prayer. Radiant rays emanate behind her figure, while a detailed wreath of roses encircles the design—symbolic of the miraculous roses associated with the apparition on Tepeyac Hill in 1531. Beneath her, the angel supports the crescent moon, faithfully echoing the traditional iconography that has inspired generations.
The reverse features the powerful Mexican eagle, wings spread in triumph as it stands upon a serpent and cactus—imagery rooted in the founding legend of Tenochtitlán. Framed by inscriptions celebrating Mexican heritage, the design unites religious devotion and national symbolism in bold, high-contrast intaglio engraving.
Struck in one avoirdupois ounce of .999 fine copper, this 39mm round exhibits deep sculpted relief, sharp device definition, and rich proof-like fields. Each piece is individually hand-fed into the press and produced with the precision and craftsmanship collectors have come to expect.
The Legado Mexicano Series explores the full spectrum of Mexico’s legacy—from sacred imagery and revolutionary heroes to historic coinage and cultural traditions—each release serving as a tangible tribute to a nation defined by faith, resilience, and history.
