Interesting fact
The 5000 Pesos coin commemorating the Nationalization of the Oil Industry in Mexico in 1988 has an interesting design feature. On the obverse side of the coin, there is an image of a oil rig, symbolizing the country's rich oil reserves and the importance of the oil industry to the nation's economy. However, the reverse side of the coin features an image of a traditional Mexican woman, known as an "indígena," weaving a basket. This design element was included to represent the country's indigenous heritage and to highlight the importance of preserving traditional crafts and culture. This combination of modern industry and traditional culture makes for a unique and interesting design on the coin.
