Mexican 2 Pesos Bimetallic 2007 Value

If you found a Mexican 2 pesos coin dated 2007 (the small two-tone one with a silver-colored ring and a golden center), the honest answer is that it is worth its face value: 2 pesos, roughly 10 to 12 US cents at current exchange rates. In 2026, this is still ordinary pocket change in Mexico, not a rare find.

We say that plainly because a lot of people inherit a jar of foreign coins and assume old-looking money is valuable. This one is neither old nor rare. Mexico struck 129,422,000 of them in 2007 alone (Numista, KM 604), one of the highest mintages in the modern circulating series. There is no scarcity to drive a premium.

What this coin actually is

The 2 pesos bimetallic coin belongs to the "nuevos pesos" (new pesos) family that Mexico launched in 1993 after knocking three zeros off the old currency. The Bank of Mexico still mints the same design today, which is part of why so many exist.

Here are the physical facts, exactly as cataloged:

• Weight: 5.19 grams
• Diameter: 23 mm
• Edge: reeded (grooved)
• Center: aluminum-bronze (the golden-colored disc)
• Outer ring: stainless steel (the silver-colored rim)
• Catalog reference: KM 604

One detail people miss: the outer ring is not blank. It carries a stylized version of the Ring of Days from the Piedra del Sol (the Aztec Sun Stone, often called the Aztec Calendar), the same motif shared across the bimetallic denominations. The center shows the numeral 2 with the year above it and the mint mark Mo (for Mexico City) to the right. The obverse carries the Mexican national coat of arms, an eagle on a cactus devouring a serpent.

Is it silver? No

This is the question US readers ask first, and the answer matters. The 2 pesos bimetallic contains no silver, gold, or any precious metal. It is aluminum-bronze and stainless steel. That means there is no bullion floor holding up its value. A silver coin is worth at least its melt value even if worn; this one is not. Its worth stops at face value.

Value by condition

Condition	What it means	Approximate value (USD)
Circulated (worn)	Normal pocket change	Face value, about 0.10 to 0.12
Uncirculated (mint state)	Never spent, full luster	A small premium, roughly 1 to 3
Certified error coin	Off-center, double strike, wrong planchet	Case by case, valued on the error, not the year

The only realistic way this coin exceeds face value is in uncirculated (mint state) condition, and even then the premium is modest. We are talking a couple of dollars to a collector building a date set, not a windfall.

Errors: the only real upside

There are no publicly documented errors that make the 2007 issue valuable as a whole. If you think you have one with an off-center strike, a doubled image, or the wrong metal blank, that is judged individually on the physical rarity of the error, not on the date. Genuine, dramatic mint errors on modern Mexican coins can sell for real money, but they are rare and need verification. A normal 2007 is just a normal 2007.

How to check what yours is worth

1. Confirm the date and mint mark. A 2007 with the Mo mark is the common variety described here.
2. Grade the condition honestly. If it has been in circulation, it is worn, and worn means face value.
3. Look for genuine mint errors, not damage. Scratches, dents, and wear are not errors and add nothing.
4. If you believe you have an uncirculated example or a true error, compare it against listings and consider certification only if the potential value justifies the cost.

Where to sell one

Because this is common circulating money, you will not find a buyer eager to pay a premium for a worn example. If you want uncirculated pieces to build a set, or you want to sell coins you have, check the Pesoteca store directory to reach numismatic dealers. To collect the full run by year, see the 2 pesos bimetallic series, and for background on the currency reform behind it, the nuevos pesos era page has the context.

Have a Mexican 2 pesos you think is different from the standard one, maybe an odd strike or a color mismatch? Post clear photos of both sides in the Pesoteca forum and we will help you tell an error from ordinary damage.

When Banxico dropped the N$ prefix from the peso starting in 1996, the circulating pieces kept the same physical format as their Nuevos Pesos equivalents from the decree of June 22, 1992. This bimetallic 2-peso coin struck in 2007 is part of that continuity: same technical specifications, same base design with the National Coat of Arms on the obverse, only the nominal value visible on the reverse changed. That's why gathering dates reveals long sequences with very little variation.

For the Mexican collector building a collection by year, these pieces are the ones that fill the basic gaps before hunting the rare commemorative versions. Banxico documents the mintages in its Circular Monetaria CM10 from the year 2000 on, so for 2007 it's possible to verify the exact mintage against that source. Pesoteca catalogs each year as a distinct physical piece in the PSM System, family C, following our convention of one ID per collectible piece, not per shared design.
