Mexico 10 pesos Republic Coinage Miguel Costilla KM-477 PR69 PCGS CuNi coin 1982

This 1982 Mexico 10 Pesos coin, KM-477.2, is a copper-nickel Proof issue certified PCGS PR69 CAM, combining a distinctive multi-sided format with an important figure from Mexican history. The portrait side presents a left-facing effigy of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, rendered with a prominent forehead, facial profile and carefully engraved wavy hair. The surrounding design includes the denomination DIEZ PESOS, the date 1982 and a small engraver’s mark. The opposite side displays Mexico’s national coat of arms: a powerful eagle with layered feathers holds a serpent while standing on a prickly pear cactus. Oak and laurel branches with detailed leaves frame the lower composition, while ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS curves above. Hidalgo, a Catholic priest and leading figure of the Mexican War of Independence, is closely associated with the 1810 call to revolt that began Mexico’s struggle against Spanish colonial rule. The sharp Proof surfaces, cameo contrast and near-perfect PCGS PR69 CAM certification make this historic Mexican coin especially attractive for collectors of portraits, independence themes and certified world coinage.
