The Mexican Mint began producing the Onza in 1949. A metallic silver bullion coin, the Onza was minted in over 90% silver. The Mexican Silver Onza was reproduced again starting in 1978. The Mexican National Mint stopped producing the Mexican Silver Onza in 1980.Mexico is one of the leading producers of silver in the World. The country has history of yielding billions and billions of silver, which accounts for about one-fifth of the World?s entire silver mine production. Over 100 million ounces of silver are mined per year in Mexico. Mexico is home to one of the World?s oldest silver mints. It was originally established by the Spanish in 1535 following the collapse of the Aztec Empire. In fact, Casade Moneda Mexico is one of the original mints. Over 300 years, silver deposits allowed the Spanish Empire to mint silver coins, including the Spanish dollar.
