| Additional information |
Part of Mexico's long-running state series issued between 2004 and 2007, this coin commemorates San Luis Potosí, whose silver mines made it one of the most economically significant territories in New Spain for over three centuries. The Cerro de San Pedro deposit, discovered in 1592, generated wealth on a scale that directly shaped colonial fiscal policy and helped fund the Spanish crown's European commitments.
The bimetallic proof format — pairing .999 gold with a .999 silver ring — was used exclusively for the collector market; no circulation strikes exist in this composition. Casa de Moneda de México produced the full 31-state series to modest mintages, and individual state issues vary considerably in secondary-market availability.
