1912 Caballito Tribute – 1 Troy Ounce .999 Fine Silver Round | Legado Mexicano Series
Description:
A legendary masterpiece of Mexican coinage, faithfully reborn in .999 fine silver.
The 1912 Caballito Peso stands among the most celebrated coin designs in Mexican numismatic history—an enduring symbol of artistry, national pride, and forward progress. Revered by collectors for more than a century, the original design captures the spirit of a changing Mexico at the dawn of the 20th century. This tribute from Intaglio Mint honors that legacy with exceptional detail, struck in one troy ounce of .999 fine silver and rendered in true intaglio style.
The obverse features the iconic image of Liberty riding confidently on horseback, her flowing garments and raised torch embodying movement, freedom, and the promise of a new era. Behind her, radiant sun rays stretch outward across the horizon, while agricultural imagery symbolizes the prosperity and strength of the Mexican people. The historic date “1912” appears below, preserving the authenticity and timeless character of the original Caballito Peso design.
On the reverse, Mexico’s historic coat of arms commands attention—the eagle perched atop a cactus while grasping a serpent, a powerful emblem rooted in Aztec tradition and national identity. Encircling the design is the inscription ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS, with UN PESO positioned below in classic period style. Intaglio Mint’s hallmark, denoting 1 OZT .999 AG, is discreetly integrated into the design to maintain the integrity and elegance of the original motif.
Struck entirely in-house in the USA, this silver tribute reflects Intaglio Mint’s dedication to precision craftsmanship, deep relief engraving, and classic numismatic aesthetics. The brilliant silver finish highlights every sculpted detail—from Liberty’s flowing form to the intricate feathering of the eagle—creating a piece that feels both historic and timeless.
More than a tribute, this round is a celebration of one of Mexico’s most iconic coin designs—brought to life once again in stunning .999 fine silver.
