Part of the $100 Pesos Bimetallic coins program. This coin was struck to commemorate the 200 th. Anniversary of Benito Juarez birth. Benito Pablo Juárez García (March 21, 1806 – July 18, 1872) was a Zapotec Amerindian who served two terms (1861–1863 and 1867–1872) as President of Mexico. For his resistance to the French occupation and his efforts to modernize the country, Juárez is often regarded as Mexico's greatest and most beloved leader. He is the only full-blooded Native American to serve as President of Mexico.These are meant to circulate, which makes them the only circulating silver coins in the world. Coin contains a 1/2 oz. .925 sterling silver center surrounded by an aluminum-bronze outer ring. Difficult to find because these coins are not exported by the Mexico City Mint.
