Mexico will have three commemorative coins for the World Cup; Senate prepares for their approval

Mexico is set to issue three commemorative coins in anticipation of the FIFA World Cup 2026, pending Senate approval.

As excitement builds for the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026, Mexico plans to release three commemorative coins reflecting the event's significance. The first coin will be made of pure gold, valued at 25 pesos, with a circular design and a diameter of 23mm. The second coin will be crafted from pure silver, worth ten pesos and measuring 40mm in diameter. The third will be a bimetallic coin featuring a dodecagonal shape, valued at 20 pesos, comprising two different alloys for its central and peripheral parts.

The design of these coins will showcase the National Coat of Arms prominently on the obverse, accompanied by the inscription "ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS" in a semi-circular arrangement at the top. The reverse side will sport a design chosen by the Bank of Mexico, likely integrating themes and imagery associated with the FIFA World Cup 2026. This initiative not only highlights Mexico’s rich football history but also serves to commemorate a significant international event hosted by Mexico, the United States, and Canada.

The Senate's preparation for the approval of these coins signals the government's commitment to supporting the World Cup and engaging with the patriotic sentiment associated with national events. Coin collectors and football fans alike will undoubtedly be interested in these issued coins, which stand as a blend of sports and national pride, reinforcing Mexico's role in the international football community during this monumental tournament.
