The 2026 World Cup coins are now a reality. Mexico will have three new commemorative coins ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, including an unprecedented 25-peso coin in pure gold.
The news? The Senate of the Republic approved the issue with 94 votes in favor, marking the beginning of a historic collection that celebrates the third time the country will host the World Cup.
Among the 2026 World Cup coins, the $25 peso coin stands out in particular, a denomination that does not currently exist in regular circulation. In addition, a pure silver coin with a face value of $10 pesos and a bimetallic coin worth $20 pesos will be released.
The issue commemorates Mexico’s hosting of the tournament alongside the United States and Canada, and Mexico City’s return to the center of international soccer.
This is what the 2026 World Cup coins will look like
The three coins will feature the National Coat of Arms in sculptural relief on the obverse, with the legend “ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS” forming the upper semicircle. The reverse design will be created by the Bank of Mexico and must include elements alluding to the 2026 World Cup.
Mexico will host 13 matches of the tournament, and the opening game will be played on June 11, 2026, at Estadio Banorte, formerly known as Estadio Azteca, which will become the first stadium in the world to host three World Cup opening ceremonies.
Once the decree is published in the Official Gazette of the Federation and the coins are officially issued, the 2026 World Cup coins will be available for purchase at authorized banking institutions, the Mexican Mint, and specialized official channels.
The Bank of Mexico will announce release dates, prices, and distribution points. We recommend that you only use official channels to avoid fraud or overpricing.
Beyond their face value, these 2026 World Cup coins are shaping up to be collector’s items that capture a historic moment for Mexico City and the entire country.
