oldhess New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 09/06/2014 1:30 pm I got this coin circa 2003 from a kid who really wanted my Ford Mustang watch.So I swapped him for this coin. On the one side it has Christ with arms open, then a pic of what I can only assume is the pope, Most likely Benedict XVI because of the inscription which reads "El Mundo Cristiano Hacia Un Nuevo Milenio" Its Spanish for "The Christian World into a new millennium" and to the side it says Siglo XXI (21st century) On the back of the coin is the Lady of Guadalupe. I know she is of significant importance in converting Mexico to catholicism. So I know a little bit about the images on the coin but for the life of me I cannot find any info on fabrication and distribution of the coin. please help me! Report this Post to the Staff

Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 09/16/2014 3:00 pm I did not find the mintage, but I think they are made in big quantities. You have Always the value of the silver, if it is silver. A value is as big as anyone is prepared to pay. Maybe you can send the pictures to that site? Report this Post to the Staff
