This series coincides almost precisely with Mexico's transition away from silver coinage, a process that accelerated sharply after the 1970 silver crisis drove Mexicans to hoard and melt the older 10 Peso pieces. The copper-nickel replacement entered circulation under Luis Echeverría and ran through the early years of the 1982 peso collapse — a debt crisis so severe that the government froze dollar accounts and nationalized the banking system mid-series.
Later dates in the run, particularly those struck after 1982, saw massive overproduction as purchasing power evaporated and denominations that had seemed substantial became effectively trivial within months.
