How much is the 20 pesos 2026 FIFA World Cup TM, hosted by Mexico-United States-Canada, Monterrey worth?

The estimated value of the 20 pesos 2026 FIFA World Cup TM, hosted by Mexico-United States-Canada, Monterrey ranges from $40 (circulated, XF) up to $80 (official blister pack), with $65 as a reference for an uncirculated (UNC) piece. The estimate is based on the official mintage and the historical behavior of the family.

The real price depends on four factors: the grade of preservation (a circulated piece is worth the low end of the range; an uncirculated one, or one still in its official blister pack, the high end), the finish (satin vs mirror/proof), the rarity within the series based on the mintage, and the metal spot price on the day of the deal when the piece is silver or gold. Check the value-by-grade table above and compare with equivalent pieces before buying or selling.

Historical context

Banxico issued this piece within the bimetallic family of commemorative 20-peso coins alongside the Mexico City, Guadalajara and Mexico Triple Host versions. There are also collector versions of this same host city in .999 silver, one troy ounce and .999 gold, 7.776 g.

Unique context of this piece

The Monterrey version of the World Cup 2026 bimetallic coins shows the El Crisol Fountain and the Cerro de la Silla in the reverse background, with the soccer player controlling the ball in action at the center. The Cerro de la Silla is the iconic geographic symbol of Monterrey: a mountain with a recognizable silhouette that appears on the state coat of arms, in local artwork, in institutional advertising, and now on national circulating coinage.

The 2026 World Cup matches in Monterrey are played at Estadio BBVA (official home of Club de Futbol Monterrey, the Rayados), located technically in the municipality of Guadalupe within the Monterrey metropolitan area. Banxico set an official mintage of 21.5 million pieces for the Monterrey venue, equal to Guadalajara and slightly lower than CDMX in the full set.

If you are going to hunt this piece down in person in Monterrey or the metro area, check the Nuevo León store hub. Nuevo León has a particularly professional numismatic trade thanks to its proximity to the United States, which regularly draws collectors from South Texas. The established local reference is Numismática Aeons, in Mitras Centro, rated 4.9 across 252 verified reviews. Adrián and Lorena serve customers with professional expertise that American collectors point out every time they pass through Monterrey.

Compared with its 3 siblings in the set, the Monterrey version stands out for the Cerro de la Silla in the background, a visually distinct motif from the Ángel de la Independencia of CDMX, the Minerva sculpture of Guadalajara, or the national jaguar of the Triple Venue.
