Mexico 2010 5 pesos KM-922

from the Mountain Groan Collection

This specimen is one of a series issued by the Mexico City mint to honor heroes of the War of Independence (1810-21) and the Mexican Revolution (1910-17). The program was modeled on the U. S. Mint's state quarter program and has been quite popular. The specimen shown here honors Francisco Madero (1873-1913), first president during the Revolution and martyred by Victoriano Huerta. The coins are the same weight and diameter as the bimetallic five pesos issued since 1992 (KM 552).

Recorded mintage: 6,930,998 plus 4,750 proofs.

Specification: 7.07 g, bimetallic, stainless steel outer ring with an aluminum-bronze center, 25.5 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM 922.
