| Additional information |
Issued to mark the centennial of Mexican independence, this coin was produced in a single year with a mintage of just 1,461,602 pieces — modest by any standard, and further thinned by the Mexican government's own silver buyback programs in later decades. The timing was pointed: 1921 fell in the immediate aftermath of the Revolution, and the Obregón administration understood the political value of commemorating independence while the country was still reassembling itself.
The Casa de Moneda struck this on the same planchet specifications as the 8 Reales tradition, a deliberate continuity with colonial-era coinage weights that carried its own quiet message about institutional survival.
