Overview

A modern bimetallic circulation coin featuring the Mexican coat of arms on one side and a large denomination 5 with stylized pre-Hispanic ring motifs on the other.

Historical significance

Part of the modern Mexican peso series introduced after the 1993 currency reform (which dropped three zeros from the old peso). Bimetallic coins of this type serve as standard high-denomination circulating coinage in Mexico.
