1912 Caballito Tribute – 1 AVDP Ounce .999 Fine Copper Round | Legado Mexicano Series
Description:
A timeless icon of Mexican numismatic history, reimagined in rich .999 fine copper.
The 1912 Caballito Peso is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful coins ever produced by Mexico. Designed during a period of artistic and political transformation, it captures the spirit of a nation in motion—bold, independent, and full of promise. This tribute from Intaglio Mint faithfully honors that legacy, bringing the classic design to life with deeply engraved detail and a warm copper finish that enhances every contour.
The obverse features the elegant figure of Liberty riding forward on horseback, her flowing garments caught in motion as she carries the torch of progress. Behind her, radiant sun rays symbolize a new dawn, while agricultural elements reflect the strength and prosperity of the Mexican land. The date “1912” grounds the design in its historic origin, paying homage to the original issue that collectors have admired for over a century.
On the reverse, the iconic Mexican coat of arms takes center stage—the eagle perched atop a cactus, grasping a serpent, a powerful symbol rooted in Aztec legend and national identity. Encircling the design is the legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS, with UN PESO proudly displayed below. Subtle enhancements include Intaglio Mint’s hallmark, denoting 1 OZ .999 CU, seamlessly integrated into the design without disrupting its historic integrity.
Struck in 1 AVDP ounce of .999 fine copper and produced entirely in-house in the USA, this round reflects Intaglio Mint’s commitment to craftsmanship, precision, and numismatic artistry. Every detail is rendered in true intaglio style, with strong relief and clean fields that elevate this tribute beyond a simple reproduction—it is a celebration of heritage.
A true collector’s piece that bridges history and craftsmanship—honoring one of Mexico’s most beloved coin designs in a bold new medium.
