| Additional information |
This piece belongs to Mexico's long-running Transportation series, which the Casa de Moneda launched in the 1990s to document the mechanical history of the country through collector-grade silver issues. The specific subject — a locomotive at Cuernavaca — references the Interoceanic Railway line that connected Mexico City to Veracruz via the Morelos highlands, a route whose Cuernavaca descent was one of the most technically demanding stretches of nineteenth-century rail engineering in Latin America, requiring switchbacks to manage the dramatic elevation drop off the central plateau.
KM#938 is a two-ounce format, consistent with the heavier issues in the later Transportation releases.
