Mexico 2 Pesos Coin (Bimetallic)

This is a Mexican 2 Pesos circulation coin, a bimetallic piece featuring a distinctive two-tone construction. The coin consists of a brass-aluminum bronze center plug surrounded by a stainless steel outer ring. On the obverse shown, the denomination '2' is prominently centered in a stylized digital-like font. Adjacent to the numeral is the Mexican Mint mark 'M°', and the date '1995' is visible. The silver-colored outer ring is intricately decorated with elements from the 'Anillo de los Días' (Ring of Days) from the Aztec Sun Stone (Piedra del Sol), showcasing various glyphs and geometric patterns consistent with modern Mexican numismatic design. Physically, the coin appears used with minor surface scratches and a light patina developing on the brass center, though the striking of the symbols remains clear. The edge of the coin is plain. This specific design was introduced in 1993 as part of the 'Nuevo Peso' revaluation and continues to be a staple of Mexican currency. The craftsmanship is high-quality industrial minting, typical of the Banco de México production standards for the mid-1990s.
