Nearing the end of the Spanish empire and their colonization of the Americas, Hidalgo, fueled by the philosophy of enlightenment and the pursuit of knowledge with the value of human happiness, helped to free New Spain (now present-day Mexico). His speech, known as the Cry of Dolores or "The Independence Cry", gave the call to arms and triggered the Mexican War of Independence.Losing the Battle of Calderón Bridge, Hidalgo fled north but was betrayed and captured, ultimately leading to his death. About 10 years after his passing, the war was won and Mexico became a constitutional monarchy for a short time, eventually giving way to a treaty that included the Spanish recognition of Mexico as an independent nation. Miguel Hidalgo's first steps paved the way for Mexico to become the nation it is today.Cherish the opportunity to own a tangible symbol of Mexico's rich heritage and the unwavering pursuit of freedom embodied by Miguel Hidalgo. With each glance at this stunning coin, you will be reminded of the resilience and courage that shaped a nation.
