The Snowflake

The reverse is a magnified stellar dendrite ice crystal, with frosted branches and a crystal at the center, by Canadian nature and macro photographer Don Komarechka, whose "DK" initials appear on the reverse. Komarechka has written two books on snowflakes and macro photography, his snowflake images have appeared on Royal Canadian Mint silver coins in 2017, 2018, 2023 and 2024, and he now lives near Varna, Bulgaria. The six-sided coin echoes the snowflake.

The Crown And The Mint

The obverse carries Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, with her "SB" initials at the shoulder, in the transitional version made after the Queen's death: below "ELIZABETH II" are the dates 1952 and 2022, separated by four pearls for the four effigies that appeared on Canadian coins during her reign. It was used on 2023 collector and bullion coins, and Canadian coins released from 2024 on carry King Charles III, by Steven Rosati.

The Royal Canadian Mint opened on January 2, 1908, as the Ottawa branch of Britain's Royal Mint and became the Royal Canadian Mint in 1931. Its Silver Maple Leaf bullion coins have been 99.99% silver since 1988, and in 2007 it struck the world's first 99.999% pure gold bullion coins. Britain's Royal Mint also has a link to American coins: in 1876 it recommended the English engraver George T. Morgan to the US Mint, where he went on to design the Morgan silver dollar.

Grade And Authenticity

Historical Context

Mexico struck most 2.5 pesos gold coins between 1918 and 1948. From 1951 to 1972 the mint restruck the 2.5 pesos as bullion, more than 5 million coins, all dated 1945; the 1945 date today covers both the original 1945 strikes and those later restrikes. There is no reliable way to tell them apart by sight. These coins are valued for their gold content, and are prized by collectors around the world for their classic Hidalgo design and rich and significant history.

Condition

[UNC] Uncirculated, with original satin mint luster that brightens across the fields as the coin is tilted and shows no wear on the high detailed points; bag and handling marks are visible from years of storage alongside other gold coins, including fine hairline marks across the obverse field near DOS and Hidalgo's head. Never cleaned or polished. Grade estimated; not professionally graded.

Provenance

Family history: this coin has been in the family since the approximate year of issue or shortly after, before 1950, which is earlier than the 1951 start of the restrikes. We have no paperwork to prove the date, so the coin is described and priced as a standard 1945 2.5 pesos. From my family's estate collections, handed down from my grandmother to my parents at the time of their wedding more than 60 years ago and now to me.
