| Reverse description | The shield of the state of Guanajuato is centrally displayed within the gold inner disc, rendered in sharp proof relief and depicting the quartered heraldic arms of the state with its traditional emblems. Below the shield, the date 2005 appears in the field, with the denomination $100 inscribed beneath in bold numerals. The legend ESTADO DE GUANAJUATO arcs along the upper portion of the silver outer ring, with the mint mark Mo positioned to the left of the shield, and a beaded border encircling the inner gold centre. |

| Additional information |
Part of Mexico's long-running "Places and Monuments" bimetallic proof series, this issue celebrates Guanajuato — a city whose silver mines once supplied roughly two-thirds of the world's silver output during the colonial period. The Casa de Moneda de México has issued similar state-themed bimetallics annually since the late 1990s, pairing fine gold centres with fine silver rings in a format that leans more toward collector appeal than any circulation function.
Guanajuato also holds particular significance in Mexican monetary history: the city's mines fed the very mints that struck colonial reales for three centuries.
