The first specimen was lot 71331 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Santa Ana, CA, May 2018), where it sold for $228. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Mexico|MEXICO]]. Pattern Peso, 1986-Mo. PCGS MS-64 Secure Holder. Struck in stainless steel. Brilliant with just a light veneer of tone." As inflation ground away at Mexican prosperity, the once proud peso relentlessly shrank. The final circulating type (KM 496) struck in stainless steel, featured Jose Maria Morelos, hero of the war of independence. This pattern, even smaller, was never adopted for production but the reported mintage is much too low.

''Recorded mintage:'' 33.

''Specification:'' stainless steel.

''Catalog reference:'' KM-Pn235.
