| Additional information |
The Arquitectura series was introduced by the Casa de Moneda de México in the early 2000s as a rotating program celebrating pre-Columbian and colonial Mexican architecture, with individual designs cycling through the series over successive years. The 1/25 onza fraction is the smallest in the gold bullion lineup and was produced in relatively modest quantities compared to the larger fractions, making circulated or mishandled examples genuinely uncommon despite the low face value.
