| Reverse description | The reverse displays, within the gold centre, a detailed rendition of the famous jade funerary mask from Calakmul, Campeche, a masterpiece of Classic Maya craftsmanship, shown facing forward with characteristic mosaic-style decorative elements. The denomination '$100' and date '2006' appear in the gold field alongside the mask, with the mint mark 'Mo' also present. The silver outer ring carries the inscriptions 'ESTADO DE CAMPECHE' arching across the upper portion and 'MASCARA DE JADE • CALAKMUL, CAMPECHE' along the lower arc, all lettered in raised Latin characters. The frosted relief of the mask against the mirror fields exemplifies the high-quality proof finish of this commemorative state series. |

| Additional information |
Part of Banco de México's long-running "Estados de la República Mexicana" series, which ran from 2004 through 2007 and covered all 31 states plus the Federal District. Each issue paired a bimetallic proof format — .999 gold core set into a .999 silver ring — with a mintage low enough that secondary-market premiums consistently outpaced face value within months of release. Campeche, one of Mexico's least populous states, generated correspondingly modest collector demand at issue, which has since worked in its favor.
