| Reverse description | The silver centre displays the coat of arms of the State of Oaxaca, featuring a shield set on an open scroll or cartouche form, surmounted by the Mexican national eagle. The shield bears figural and architectural devices characteristic of the state's heraldry, encircled by the motto 'EL RESPETO AL DERECHO AJENO ES LA PAZ' and a lower legend reading 'ESTADO LIBRE Y SOBERANO DE OAXACA'. The aluminium bronze ring bears the curved state name legend 'ESTADO DE OAXACA' along the upper arc, with the mintmark 'Mo' to the left, the year '2004' to the right, and the denomination '$100' prominently displayed at the base. |

| Additional information |
This piece belongs to México's long-running "Precolombina" bimetallic series, which the Casa de Moneda launched in 1992 to commemorate the distinct cultural regions of the republic. Oaxaca's inclusion reflects the state's exceptional archaeological density — Monte Albán alone occupied the Zapotec as a major urban center for roughly 1,500 years before Spanish contact.
The .925 silver centre distinguishes this series from most bimetallic circulation issues worldwide, where silver cores are nearly unheard of at this diameter and weight.
