| Additional information |
Luis Cabrera was one of the principal architects of the 1917 Mexican Constitution, serving as Treasury Secretary under Venustiano Carranza and drafting much of the agrarian reform legislation that shaped post-revolutionary land policy. He was also a sharp political essayist who fell out of favor after Carranza's assassination in 1920 and spent long periods in exile. His inclusion in this circulating bimetallic series reflects Mexico's broader project of commemorating revolutionary-era intellectuals and statesmen alongside the military figures who dominate popular memory of the period.
