5 Pesos Peso de 'Caballito'

The original "Caballito" peso, designed by Charles Pillet and struck from 1910 to 1914, is among the most admired Mexican coins of the 20th century — and one of the shortest-lived regular issues, suspended when revolutionary turmoil collapsed the Porfiriato's monetary order entirely. This 2010 restrike was issued to mark the centennial of that original, part of a broader commemorative program tied to both the centenary of the Mexican Revolution and the bicentenary of independence.

Pillet was a French sculptor, and the commission itself reflected the Díaz government's deep cultural alignment with France in its final years.
