By the late 1950's, the [[Mexico|Mexican]] peso had begun 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. The peso, originally a large silver coin ([[Mexico 1914 peso|KM 453]]), progressively shrank (see the [[Mexico 1943-M peso|1943 peso]]) until this design appeared 1957-67, containing 1/15th of the silver in the 1914 issue. The succeeding type ([[Mexico 1980 peso|KM 460]]) contained no silver at all. The portrait is of Miguel Hidalgo, hero of the War of Independence (1810-21).
