1959 mexican 20 peso or 2017 proof sovereign. What would you choose?

Two stunning coins, two trains of thought. As a keeper and not to flip what would you choose for the long term. The 20 peso is roughly twice the weight of the sovereign and £180 cheaper but wiould have limited potential to gain in value as a collectable. The sovereign obviously has a limited mintage and the great appeal to the UK market but at a premium. 

As I'm writing this it's seems to be turning in to a stacker vs collector theme but what tò choose between two lovely coins. What would you have?

Unquestionably, the 2017 Sovereign but the Veiente Pesos is a gorgeous coin.

Sov.

The 1959 20 pesos is a wonderful coin but it's is a restrike, right?  So you can always find one on the market at a decent premium.

True it would be a restrike, I was just curious as to which direction people would sway. Double the gold and £180 cheaper or the sov with blue chip provenance and easy to sell on factor. I don't own either but might consider so in the future.

Damn too many coins and not enough money...  Also thought about the 2017 SOTD, I think I'm starting to answer my own question.😁
