The Bank of Mexico printed this 2-piece set to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of the Mexican revolution and the 200^th anniversary of 1810 Mexican Independence from Spain. Set comes with matching serial numbers. 

The 100 Pesos is dated 2010. The obverse prominently features a locomotive used to transport troops during the revolution. You can see rebels and farm workers riding in the cars behind the train engine. The reverse of the note shows a small portion of a mural called “Del Profirisimo a la Revolucion” located in the National Museum of History in Mexico City. One very cool feature on this note is the watermark used. It is a photograph of one of the thousands of women, called Soldaderas, who participated in the revolution. 

The 200 Pesos is dated 2008. The obverse features a painting of Don Miguel Hidalgo giving an impassioned speech in support of independence.  The painting was done by famous Mexican artist Jesus Enrique Emilio De La Helguera(1910-1971). The reverse is of the statue called “Victor Alada” or better known as “The Angel of Independence.” The statue is located on the “Column of Independence” located in Mexico City.
