This coin was kept together with KM#Pn183, indicating that both were made as a proposition set for the Mexican Mint and presented together.
This coin would be minted for the centenary of Mexico's independence, during the period in which the Resplandor Peso was not minted. Pablo Luna (Las Pruebas De La Moneda Mexicana Del Siglo XX) mentions that in 1907 Pillet delivered a package with dies, punches, ferrules, dies and three silver pattern coins; this according to Dr. Alberto Pradeau. But according to Veracruz' customs reports from 1907, the package did not have the three coins. The coins would actually be minted in January 1908, in Mexico.
In addition to this pattern coin, Pablo Luna mentions that two unifacial medallions were made in bronze, one with a more pronounced relief and the other less so. Another difference is the weight, with the lightest medallion weighing 108.7 gr. Both medallions had a diameter of 38mm.
