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 Oaxaca, shown here, honors the Alcala theater in the state capital. The coins are the same weight and diameter as the bimetallic fifty pesos of 1993-95 (KM 571).
