In the 1950's, the [[Mexico|Mexican]] peso was continuing its inexorable slide. Coin types, once stable in the early part of the century, began turning over more rapidly as inflation ate away their purchasing power. While this gave employment to coin designers and engravers, it limited their scope of action as progressively cheaper alloys were adopted. This type, issued 1955-59, features the bust of Cuauhtemoc, the last Aztec emperor. This bust first appeared on the five pesos of 1947-48. This fifty centavos was superseded by the [[Mexico 1972 50 centavos|copper-nickel type]] of 1964-83.

''Recorded mintage:'' 3,502,000 (scarcest date).

''Specification:'' 14 g, bronze, 33 mm diameter, plain edge.

''Catalog reference:'' KM 450.
