| Additional information |
In 1987, the Casa de Moneda de México was exploring design directions for a proposed Mexican panda bullion series, producing a small number of pattern pieces in various metals and compositions to test both striking quality and public reception. The "Tohui" name references a giant panda cub born at the Chapultepec Zoo in Mexico City in 1981 — a genuine national celebrity whose birth generated unusual popular enthusiasm and made the panda a commercially viable subject for Mexican coinage.
The brass composition of this particular pattern suggests it was struck as a production trial rather than a proposed final medium. The series never entered regular issue.
