The 2006 bimetallic proof series from the Casa de Moneda de México was part of a broader commemorative program honoring figures central to Mexican independence, with José María Morelos y Pavón among the most politically significant choices — a mestizo priest who took command of the insurgency after Hidalgo's execution in 1811 and reorganized it into a coherent military and constitutional force. His 1814 Solemn Act of the Declaration of Independence of Northern America is considered the first formal independence document in Mexican history.
The pairing of .999 gold and .999 silver in a single coin required exceptionally tight tolerancing at the ring-to-core join — a persistent technical challenge for proof bimetallics struck for collector rather than circulation purposes.
