Mexico 2006Go 100 pesos rev DSLR.jpg

This specimen is one of a series issued by the Mexico City mint to honor each of the Mexican states, this one being for Guanajuato. 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. The second series, commencing in 2005, featured state animals, monuments, heroes, etc. The one for Guanajuato, shown here, honors Miguel Hidalgo, hero of the War of Independence, which started in that state. The coins are the same weight and diameter as the bimetallic fifty pesos of 1993-95 (KM 571).

Recorded mintage: 149,921.

Specification: 33.94 g, brass outer ring with 0.925 fine silver center, .500 troy oz ASW, 39.0 mm diameter, segmented reeded edge.

Catalog reference: KM 789.
