On the front of the note, the design commemorates the beginning of Mexico’s War of Independence. It features an image of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, the priest who initiated the independence movement on September 16, 1810, through the famous “el grito de Dolores” (Cry of Dolores). Accompanying him is José María Morelos y Pavón, who took over the leadership of the movement after Hidalgo’s death and is revered as the “Siervo de la Nación” (Servant of the Nation). Alongside these historical figures, there is a vignette of the “Campana de Dolores” (Bell of Dolores), which Hidalgo used to rally the population and start the independence movement in Dolores, Hidalgo.

Additionally, the front of the note features an overprint “30 ANIVERSARIO DE LA AUTONOMIA 1994-2019” below the bank’s name at the upper left corner. This overprint commemorates the 30th anniversary of the Banco de Mexico’s autonomy, granted by Article 28 of the Constitution on April 1, 1994.

The reverse side of the note showcases an image of a royal eagle, symbolizing Mexico’s scrubland and desert ecosystem found at the Pinacate and Gran Desierto de Altar Biosphere Reserve in Sonora. This reserve is designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, highlighting its ecological significance.

For security, the note includes both a windowed security thread and a solid security thread with demetalized “200”. These features help prevent counterfeiting and ensure the note’s authenticity. The watermark includes the image of the Bell and an electrotype “200”, further enhancing its security.
