Mexico 1987 10 pesos

from the Mountain Groan Collection

This type was struck 1985-90 and honors the hero of the war of independence, Miguel Hidalgo. The stress of inflation in the 1980's as Mexico squandered her oil bonanza caused many coin types to come and go. The circulation coinage of the 1980's is also notable for being the first coinage to feature the denomination in Braille, altho the effect is only symbolic, as the dots are too small to be useful.

Recorded mintage: 305,000,000.
