History & Notable Facts
The 1985 100 Pesos coin was minted specifically to channel funds toward earthquake relief in Mexico City, following the devastating 1985 tremor that claimed thousands of lives.
Struck in silver by the Casa de Moneda de México, it features a design with the Angel of Independence on the obverse and a symbolic representation of the earthquake's destruction on the reverse. Proceeds from its sales went straight to relief organizations, a practical move in a year of crisis. The coin's edge is reeded, a standard for the denomination, though variations in strike quality have been noted among surviving pieces.
Exact mintage figures are murky; records from that era weren't always kept with precision. Some collectors debate whether the coin's relief efforts made much difference, given the scale of the disaster.
As for myths, I've heard tales that every one was touched by a dignitary—nonsense, of course. They were just coins, doing their job.
