Mexican Coin Motif Gold Ring

This item is a statement ring crafted from gold, as indicated by the user's context of "18 k gold". Its most prominent feature is a large, circular bezel setting at the top, which houses what appears to be a highly detailed replica or an actual Mexican gold coin. The central motif of this "coin" features El Ángel de la Independencia (Winged Victory) figure, standing with outstretched wings, a prominent symbol also found on the Mexican Centenario gold coin. Below the winged figure, the inscription "20 PESOS" is clearly discernible, suggesting it might be a replica of a 20 Peso Mexican gold coin, or a specific design variation often incorporated into jewelry. Around the upper arc of the central design, the words "ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS" are visible, confirming its Mexican origin and design inspiration. The outer edge of the "coin" part features a decorative, geometric border, adding to its visual appeal. The gold metal exhibits a rich, warm hue, consistent with high-karat gold. While the surface shows a slight dullness or patina, which could indicate age or frequent wear, there are no obvious signs of severe damage such as deep scratches, major dents, or repairs. The overall craftsmanship appears solid, with the detailed engraving suggesting careful replication or the use of an authentic coin. This style of ring, incorporating coin designs, was popular in the mid-20th century onwards, making its estimated age potentially mid to late 20th century or more recent, given its apparent good condition. The band's structure is partially visible, appearing to be a substantial, wide design suitable for supporting the prominent coin-like top. This piece functions both as a valuable gold item and a piece of historical or culturally inspired wearable art.
