| Additional information |
Produced by the Casa de Moneda as part of a broad experimental program in the late 1970s and early 1980s testing both designs and alloy compositions ahead of a major coinage modernization, this uniface copper pattern was never intended for circulation. The Jugador de Pelota — referencing the pre-Columbian ballgame whose ritual significance extended across Mesoamerica for millennia — was among several indigenous motifs evaluated for a new 20 Peso denomination during this period. The Pollock reference 51B distinguishes this copper strike from companion pieces in other metals.
