| Additional information |
The "Serpiente Emplumada" series was introduced by the Casa de Moneda de México as a bullion program aimed at competing directly with the Krugerrand and Maple Leaf in international precious metals markets. Mexico's mint, established in 1535, is the oldest operating mint in the Americas, and this series drew on that institutional weight to position the coins as prestige bullion rather than generic product.
The 1997 date falls within a period of monetary fragility following the 1994 peso crisis, when Mexico's currency lost roughly half its value in a matter of weeks. Demand for hard-asset alternatives among domestic buyers remained elevated well into the late 1990s.
