100 Pesos Herencia Numismática IV (Oaxaca 60 Pesos), 2014

If you inherited or found a large bimetallic Mexican 100 pesos coin dated 2014 with an Oaxaca design, here is the honest answer up front: this is a modern collector coin, not a rare fortune. Its value in 2026 runs from roughly 30 to 70 USD depending on condition and whether it still has its original Banco de México packaging. The real driver of value is the silver inside, plus condition.

This piece belongs to the Herencia Numismática de México series, a modern collector program from Banco de México (the Mexican central bank, called Banxico). The fourth issue reproduces the design of the 60 pesos revolutionary coin struck in Oaxaca in 1916, an emergency coinage from the Mexican Revolution. The 2014 version is a modern reproduction, not the original 1916 coin, so do not confuse the two.

What it actually is

The coin is a bimetallic piece, meaning it has an outer ring of one metal and a center core of another. It carries a face value of 100 pesos, but nobody sells it for face value. The center core contains silver, which sets a floor under its price.

What it's worth in USD

This is a modern commemorative sold to collectors, so it was never rare in the way a genuine antique is. Value depends on three things: condition, whether it still sits in its original Banxico blister pack, and the silver spot price on the day you sell.

• Circulated or loose, average condition: roughly 25 to 40 USD
• Uncirculated, with original Banxico packaging: roughly 45 to 70 USD
• Certified high grade (NGC or PCGS): can reach higher, but certification only pays off for top examples

The silver content is the safety net. Even a beat-up example is worth its melt value, which moves with the silver market. Do not sell one of these for face value or spend it at a bank.

The myth to avoid

Because the design copies a 1916 Revolution coin, some sellers describe it as "a 1916 Oaxaca 60 pesos." It is not. This is a 2014 reproduction with a clear 2014 date and a bimetallic construction the original never had. A genuine 1916 Oaxaca gold 60 pesos is a different, far more expensive coin. If someone offers to buy "your 1916 Oaxaca" and points at your 2014 piece, they are either confused or hoping you are. Read the date.

How to tell if yours is genuine

Modern Banxico coins are well made and hard to fake profitably, but check anyway:

1. Weight it. A jewelry scale should read 33.96 grams. A significant deviation is a red flag.
2. Measure it. The diameter should be 39 mm. Use calipers if you have them.
3. Check the edge. It should show the discontinuous reeded pattern, not a smooth or fully continuous edge.
4. Look at the two-metal contrast. The silver center and the outer ring should be crisply defined, not blurred or discolored.

Most "error" claims you see online are post-mint damage (scratches, corrosion, bank-teller dings), not factory errors. A real mint error on a modern coin is uncommon and must be verified before it adds value.

Where to sell it

For the best price without gambling, use a verified numismatic dealer from the Pesoteca directory, where you get an on-the-spot appraisal, or the Pesoteca buy-and-sell forum where collectors trade directly. Photograph the obverse, the reverse, and the edge in good light before you list it, and compare your condition against the ranges above. Avoid dumping it to the first bidder on social media, and never take a lowball offer just because a coin "is old," this one is not even old.

Before you decide, grade your piece against our Mexican coin condition guide. Condition is the single biggest swing between the low and high end of the range.
