| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features two celebrated heroes of Mexican independence presented in three-quarter bust facing one another: Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla at right and José María Morelos at left, both holding the Sentimientos de la Nación document between them. The figures are rendered in high relief with fine portrait detail against a proof-quality field. The circular legend arcs around the upper periphery, while the denomination $20 and the Mexico City mint mark Mo appear in the lower field. The dates 1810 and 2010 flank the commemorative inscription marking the bicentennial of Mexican independence. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This piece belongs to Mexico's long-running Libertad-adjacent commemorative program, but the Hidalgo y Morelos 20 Pesos issue occupies a specific niche: Miguel Hidalgo and José María Morelos were not merely symbolic pairing choices. Morelos served as a military commander directly under Hidalgo before the latter's capture and execution in 1811, after which Morelos assumed effective leadership of the independence movement. Their pairing on a single coin acknowledges a chain of command, not just a pantheon.
The Casa de Moneda de México, the oldest operating mint in North America — founded in 1535 — struck this in the two-troy-ounce .999 fine silver format it has refined over decades of bullion commemorative production.
