SAGRADO CORAZÓN – 1 AVDP Oz .999 Fine Copper Round | Legado Mexicano Series
Description:
Devotion, sacrifice, and enduring faith stand at the heart of Mexico’s spiritual identity. SAGRADO CORAZÓN 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 defining moments that shaped its history.
The obverse features a striking interpretation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a symbol deeply rooted in Mexican Catholic tradition. The heart is encircled by radiant sunburst rays, crowned with a cross, and pierced with thorns—representing sacrifice, divine love, and redemptive suffering. Flames rise from the heart, symbolizing unwavering spiritual fervor, while droplets and detailed engraving bring depth and realism to this timeless devotional image.
The reverse displays the powerful Mexican eagle, wings spread as it stands upon a serpent and cactus—an image drawn from the founding legend of Tenochtitlán and central to Mexico’s national identity. Framed by inscriptions celebrating Mexican heritage, the design unites faith and nation in bold, high-contrast intaglio engraving.
Struck in one avoirdupois ounce of .999 fine copper, this 39mm round showcases sharp device definition and rich sculpted relief. Each piece is individually hand-fed into the press and produced with the precision craftsmanship collectors have come to expect.
The Legado Mexicano Series explores the full spectrum of Mexico’s legacy—from sacred imagery and historic coinage to revolutionary figures and cultural traditions—each release serving as a tangible tribute to a nation shaped by faith, resilience, and history.
