| Additional information |
This piece belongs to the long-running Mexican state series issued by Banco de México, with each coin commemorating one of the 31 states plus the Federal District. Tamaulipas, a border state sharing over 1,200 kilometers of frontier with Texas, was incorporated into the Mexican republic in 1824 after a brief period as a combined territory with Coahuila. The series was struck at the Casa de Moneda de México, one of the oldest continuously operating mints in the Western Hemisphere, having first opened under Spanish colonial authority in 1535.
Mintages for individual state issues in proof were deliberately kept low to sustain collector demand across the full run.
