This specimen is one of a series issued by the [[Mexico]] City mint to honor heroes of the War of Independence (1810-21) and the Mexican Revolution (1910-17). The program was modeled on the U. S. Mint's state quarter program and has been quite popular. The specimen shown here honors Nicolas Bravo. The coins are the same weight and diameter as the bimetallic five pesos issued since 1992 (KM 552).
