Mexico FIFA World Cup Set of 4 Bimetallic Coins 20 Pesos 2026 UNC—All 3 Cities + Jaguar/Butterflies
The 2026 FIFA World Cup marks the first time in history that three nations — the United States, Canada, and Mexico — co-host the tournament, and Mexico is the only country to have hosted the World Cup three times. The Bank of Mexico commemorated this milestone with a series of four bimetallic 20 Pesos coins, each a dodecagonal (12-sided) masterpiece struck in brilliant uncirculated condition. This set brings all four together: the national Jaguar & Butterflies coin and one coin for each of Mexico's three host cities — Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey.
The Set of Four
- Shared obverse: The Mexican coat of arms — eagle, cactus, serpent — with the legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS
- Shared specs: 20 Pesos face value, bimetallic (aluminum-bronze center / stainless steel ring), 30 mm diameter, dodecagonal, milled edge, 12.67 g each (50.68 g total)
- Shared legend: MÉXICO TRIPLE SEDE MUNDIALISTA — Mexico, three-time World Cup host
- Condition: Uncirculated (UNC), direct from the Bank of Mexico
The Jaguar and the Butterflies — Mexico's Soul on a Coin
Of the four coins in this series, the national coin is the one that speaks to Mexico's identity beyond any single city. Its reverse pairs two of the country's most iconic symbols: the jaguar — apex predator of the Americas, sacred to the Maya and Aztec — and the monarch butterfly, whose annual mass migration through Mexico is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Together they frame a soccer ball and a silhouette of Mexico, with the FIFA 2026 logo and microtext reading MÉXICO TRIPLE SEDE MUNDIALISTA. This is the coin that says: we are not just a host city — we are a civilization.
Jaguar Coin — Reverse Details
- Central motif: Jaguar in profile, soccer ball, silhouette map of Mexico
- Secondary motif: Monarch butterflies in migration
- Legend: FIFA 2026 logo + microtext MÉXICO TRIPLE SEDE MUNDIALISTA
- Catalog: KM# (Bank of Mexico 2026 FIFA series — national issue)
Mexico City — The Angel Watches the Beautiful Game
Mexico City (CDMX) is one of the largest cities on Earth and one of the great capitals of the Western Hemisphere — a metropolis of 22 million people built on the ruins of Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital. Its coin features the Angel of Independence, the winged golden goddess atop a 36-meter column on the Paseo de la Reforma, inaugurated in 1910 to mark the centennial of Mexican independence. She is the city's most beloved monument — and now she presides over a soccer player mid-kick on a commemorative coin that will outlast the tournament by centuries.
CDMX Coin — Reverse Details
- Central motif: Soccer player in action
- Secondary motif: Angel of Independence column
- Legend: MÉXICO TRIPLE SEDE MUNDIALISTA + FIFA 26 CDMX logo
- Catalog: KM# (Bank of Mexico 2026 FIFA series — CDMX issue)
Guadalajara — Minerva, Goddess of the West
Guadalajara, capital of Jalisco and Mexico's second city, is the birthplace of mariachi, tequila, and the charro tradition. Its coin features the Glorieta de la Minerva — the iconic roundabout where a neoclassical statue of Minerva, Roman goddess of wisdom and war, has stood since 1956. Guadalajara, Guadalajara — the song says it all. This is a city that wears its identity with pride, and Minerva on a World Cup coin is exactly the kind of bold, confident statement the city would make.

- Central motif: Soccer player in action
- Secondary motif: Glorieta de la Minerva sculpture

Monterrey — Mountain, Water, and a Goal
Monterrey is Mexico's industrial powerhouse — a city of 5 million in the northeastern state of Nuevo León, dominated by the unmistakable silhouette of Cerro de la Silla (Saddle Mountain). Its coin pairs that iconic peak with the Paseo Santa Lucía — a 2.5 km urban waterway and promenade that transformed a dry riverbed into one of Latin America's most celebrated urban renewal projects — and El Crisol Fountain at its heart. A soccer ball caught in a net completes the reverse. Monterrey doesn't just host the World Cup; it frames it between a mountain and a river.

Who is World Money Store?
World Money Store is me, Βrian Grοss, the sole proprietor of this small business, based in Washington D.C. I've spend half my adult life in The Netherlands and Mexico and have an addiction to travel, history and languages (Spanish, Dutch Russian and a few others); Arabic my current challenge. My personal instagram is @df2dc.
I've been on ebay for 22 years, and I am also on Whatnot. I put together the website myself, and do all the purchasing.
I travel around the world to personally select a range of banknotes that I KNOW match the interests of my customers, and by traveling to the right places, I get them at the best prices, too.
I have three main groups of customers:
1. the ones who love diverse colorful and affordable notes from around the world
2. those who love to own pieces of the propaganda of communist dictatorships (Cuba, North Korea) and "bad guys" like the Ayatollah, Saddam, Gadaffi. Iran (Shah, Ayatollah), Syria (Assad, current).
3. those who seek Venezuelan and Iranian currency. We sell banknotes for collecting purposes only (our intention).
I happen to have a lot of depth and breadth in Mexico and Brazil, in addition to Cuba and Iran.
I don't focus on anything from the U.S. and Canada, items from before World War II, "lucky" serial numbers, or PMG-graded items.
