| Additional information |
Pattern coins from the Casa de Moneda in this period were typically produced to test proposed design or compositional changes before official adoption. The 1898 bronze Peso pattern sits in a complicated moment — Mexico's monetary system was under sustained pressure as silver depreciated globally throughout the 1890s, and the government was actively reconsidering the alloy basis of its coinage. A full reform would come with the 1905 monetary law, which finally moved Mexico off the silver standard.
KM#Pn166 is recorded but sparsely documented. Surviving examples are rare enough that population data remains unreliable.
