| Reverse description | The silver centre displays the quartered coat of arms of the State of Tamaulipas, set within an ornate cartouche with scrolled mantling; the shield's quarters depict agricultural motifs including maize, castles, an eagle, and livestock in the upper half, while the lower half shows a mesa landscape with clouds, a fishing vessel on water, a road, and an oil derrick, representing the state's natural and economic resources. The date 2004 appears in the upper field of the silver centre above the arms. The aluminium bronze ring carries the legend ESTADO DE TAMAULIPAS arcing along the upper periphery, the mintmark Mo to the left field of the ring, and the denomination $100 along the lower periphery, all in raised Latin lettering against a dotted border. |

| Additional information |
This coin is part of Mexico's long-running "Estados de la República" series, which issued a distinct bimetallic 100 Peso piece for each of the country's 31 states plus the Federal District. Tamaulipas, a northeastern border state sharing a lengthy frontier with Texas, was among the coins released in the 2004 batch of that program. The series was driven partly by a push to promote national geographic identity through circulation coinage — an ambition that largely failed, as most pieces were pulled from circulation almost immediately by collectors and silver stackers alike.
