| Additional information |
The Jaguar bullion series was introduced by Casa de Moneda de México in the early 1990s as a direct competitor to the Krugerrand, Maple Leaf, and American Eagle programs that had carved up the international gold bullion market through the 1980s. Mexico had long relied on the Centenario — a restrike of the 50 Peso — as its primary gold bullion vehicle, but that coin's fractional denominations were awkward for modern trade. The Jaguar offered a clean metric weight series aimed squarely at institutional buyers.
The series was short-lived. Production ran only from 1991 to 1992 before being discontinued, limiting cumulative mintages across both years.
