| Additional information |
The "Anciano con Brasero" — an elderly man with a brazier — belongs to Mexico's pre-Columbian series, a program launched by Banco de México in 1992 to present codex-derived imagery on official bullion coinage. The 1993 date places this piece in the early run of that series, before mintage figures climbed as international silver bullion demand broadened. The BW reference numbers reflect two die variants documented by Buttrey and Hubbard, a distinction that matters more than it might initially appear for date-run collectors working this series systematically.
