Mexican Gold 50 Pesos 1947
Very few countries issued any gold coins in 1947, we know of only 5. Mexico have issued these large gold bullion coins dated from 1924 to 1947, although they continued to issue them between 1949 and 1972, all with the date frozen at 1947, so most of these coins with this date are likely to be official restrikes, genuine coins, but issued after the apparent date.
