I bought this coin yesterday. I knew it wasn't the actual real 37.5g coin. From what I have found on the internet the coin is 21k gold and weights 5g. It was also made by a Mexican mint and is usually used as a decor item. I pulled out my professional digital mini scale and the weight added up. Its sealed up and I didn't see any scratches with my 8x loop. Other than its worth in gold does anyone else know if it has any worth as a small coin?

Is it just me or is that 50 Peso coin a little small? I thought the 50 peso coin was almost the size of the Librtad.

@carmykle, Yes its not a real 50 peso gold gold coin. Apparently the mint made the mini as a decor item. It is still 21k gold and 5g. Its worth in gold (current market value) is $247.63. I only paid a fraction of its worth so I can't complain. ebay here I come.
