Part of the Mexican Mint's long-running series celebrating individual states, this issue honors Michoacán de Ocampo — the state renamed in 1824 to commemorate Melchor Ocampo, the liberal reformer executed by conservative forces in 1861. The silver-core bimetallic format was a deliberate choice for the series, positioning these as collectibles rather than circulation pieces from the outset.
KM#804 is one of 31 state issues produced between 2004 and 2007, each with identical specifications but distinct regional iconography.
