Mexico 1988 5 pesos rev DSLR.jpg

This type was struck 1985-88. The stress of inflation in the 1980's as Mexico squandered her oil bonanza caused many coin types to come and go. This one honors a hero of the war of independence, Guadalupe Victoria. The circulation coinage of the 1980's is also notable for being the first coinage to feature the denomination in Braille, altho the effect is only symbolic, as the dots are too small to be useful.

Recorded mintage: 76,600,000 plus a few proofs.

Specification: 3.1 g, brass, 17 mm diameter, reeded edge.

Catalog reference: KM 502.
