Interesting fact
The Pattern 5000 Pesos coin was designed by Mexican artist and sculptor, Francisco Zúñiga, who is known for his work in commemorative coins and medals. The coin features an image of a woman representing the nation, surrounded by oil rigs and refineries, symbolizing the country's oil industry. The coin's design was meant to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the nationalization of Mexico's oil industry, which was a significant event in the country's history.
