Coined for the first time in 1921, the coin was intended as a tribute to Mexican independence from Spanish colonialism, on its 100th anniversary. The victory over the invaders is symbolized by the eagle on the cactus holding a snake in its beak, while on the other side the Nike of Samothrace symbolizes victory in war.
