This specimen is one of a series issued by the [[Mexico]] City mint to honor each of the Mexican states, this one being for Nuevo Leon. The program was modeled on the U. S. Mint's state quarter program and was quite popular. The first series, featuring the arms of each state, was issued in reverse alphabetical order, starting with Zacatecas. It was also issued as a bimetallic gold/silver commemorative. The second series, commencing in 2005, featured state animals, monuments, heroes, etc. The circulating coins are the same weight and diameter as the bimetallic fifty pesos of 1993-95 (KM 571). Gold and silver bimetallic proofs exist (KM 811). The second specimen is an all-silver proof which we don't see listed in the SCWC or on Numista.
