| Reverse description | The central field bears the large denomination numeral $200 in bold relief, with the peso sign positioned to the left. Above the numeral, the name XOCHIMILCO appears in a straight legend beneath a stylised pre-Columbian architectural motif depicting two seated frog or toad figures atop a decorated temple platform, evoking the ancient Aztec heritage of the Xochimilco region. Below the denomination, the mint mark Mo appears above the date 1991. The reverse is bordered by a continuous reeded inner rim. |

| Additional information |
In 1991, the Casa de Moneda produced a series of aluminum pattern pieces exploring weight and alloy combinations ahead of Mexico's major monetary reform — the redenomination that would strip three zeros from the peso in 1993. The Xochimilco issue belongs to this experimental run, never approved for circulation. Aluminum was ultimately rejected; the circulating bimetallic coinage that emerged from the reform used stainless steel and aluminum bronze instead.
