| Reverse description | The silver centre presents a detailed aerial cartographic view of Isla de Mexcaltitlán, a small circular island settlement in the state of Nayarit, rendered with individual buildings, streets, trees, and surrounding waterways visible in fine relief. The date '2007' appears in the upper field of the centre, and the inscription 'Isla de Mexcaltitlán' is engraved in the lower centre field in italic lettering. The aluminium bronze ring carries the legend 'ESTADO DE NAYARIT' along the upper arc, the denomination '$100' at the base, and the Mexican Mint monogram 'Mo' on the left of the ring, with a row of decorative dots running along the inner border of the ring. |

| Additional information |
Part of Mexico's ambitious 32-coin "Estados de la República Mexicana" series issued between 2003 and 2009, each piece dedicated to one of the country's 31 states plus the Federal District. Nayarit, on the Pacific coast, is home to the Huichol (Wixáritari) people, one of the few indigenous groups in Mexico to have largely resisted Spanish colonial religious conversion — a cultural persistence that made the state a natural subject for commemoration in a series explicitly designed to celebrate regional identity.
The silver-in-bronze bimetallic format was a deliberate choice by the Casa de Moneda to give the series a collectible character while maintaining nominal face value circulation status.
