This pair of yellow gold cufflinks, made in the second half of the 20th century, each presents a Mexican gold coin. They are 2.5 peso coins with the portrait of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla (1753-1811). Hidalgo was a Mexican freedom fighter who perished at the hands of the Spanish colonial power. After the founding of the Republic of Mexico in 1824, September 16, the day on which Hidalgo called for a crusade, became a national holiday. The Mexican state of Hidalgo, the city of Dolores Hidalgo, the soccer stadium "Estadio Hidalgo" of CF Pachuca and the asteroid 944 Hidalgo were named after Miguel Hidalgo. The coins consist of 90 % pure gold and 10 % copper. Due to the copper alloy, the gold coins have a reddish shimmer similar to that of the Krugerrand. Thanks to this fineness of at least 90 % gold content (21.6 carats), they meet today's minimum requirement for a bullion coin. Gold coins like these were often made into jewelry in the post-war period, perhaps also because people appreciated portable investments. A stylish and stable accessory with a history that came to us from the Rhineland.
