| Additional information |
Servando Teresa de Mier was a Dominican friar whose 1794 sermon denying the traditional account of the Virgin of Guadalupe's apparition landed him in Inquisition prison and set off decades of exile, escape, recapture, and eventually a seat in the first Mexican constituent congress. The Banco de México issued this coin as part of its "Mexican Personages" bimetallic series, which ran across several years in the 2000s to mark the bicentennial of independence and centennial of the Revolution.
Mier died in 1827, still arguing.
