| Additional information |
This coin belongs to Mexico's long-running series commemorating the bicentennial period of the Independence and Revolution movements, issued sporadically from 2010 onward. The "insurgent" designation references the armed movement led against Spanish colonial rule beginning in 1810 — a conflict that dragged on for eleven years and produced its own improvised coinage, as rebel forces operating outside royalist-controlled mints struck emergency issues in copper and crude silver to pay troops and buy supplies.
The .925 silver centre is a deliberate nod to that insurgent monetary tradition.
