This type bridges two monetary eras in Mexico: it was introduced as the country wound down its silver coinage program, replacing earlier issues that had been steadily debased as silver prices climbed through the postwar years. By the mid-1950s, keeping any silver in fractional coinage had become economically untenable, and brass became the practical solution for everyday commerce. The series ran through 1967, after which rampant inflation began eroding the peso's purchasing power so severely that even 10-centavo pieces were effectively worthless in real terms within a decade.
