Front: Metropolitan Cathedral of Mexico City (Catedral Metropolitana de la Asunción de la Santísima Virgen María a los cielos), the seat of the Catholic Archdiocese of Mexico, located on the Zócalo in Mexico City. Built between 1573 and 1813 in a mix of Baroque, Neo-Classical, and other styles, it is one of the largest and oldest cathedrals in the Americas. The cathedral replaced the original church built shortly after the Spanish conquest and stands on the site of the Aztec sacred precinct near the Templo Mayor.

Back: Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (1651–1695), Mexican writer, philosopher, composer, poet of the Baroque period, and Hieronymite nun. She was a self-taught scholar and one of the most important literary figures of colonial Spanish America, known for her proto-feminist writings and defense of women's right to education. The vignette shows her portrait alongside books and writing implements, symbols of her intellectual legacy.

The story

Background & history

This note belongs to the Type D series of the old Mexican peso system issued by Banco de México from 1985 to 1992, during a period of severe inflation. The 200 peso denomination was introduced as inflation eroded the value of lower denominations. Serie DH indicates a specific production block within this design family. The note features Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, honouring Mexico's literary heritage, with the Metropolitan Cathedral representing colonial religious architecture. This entire series was demonetized in 1992 when Mexico introduced the nuevo peso at a rate of 1000 old pesos = 1 nuevo peso to simplify the currency after hyperinflation. The serial number format and series designation are consistent with documented Banco de México practices of this era.
