📖 History and Significance:
Justo Sierra Méndez (1848–1912) was a historian, writer and minister of education who refounded the Universidad Nacional de México in 1910, today's UNAM — one of the largest universities in the Americas. The front shows UNAM's Central Library, covered in Juan O'Gorman's giant stone mosaic. This was one of the last old-peso notes issued before the 1993 reform. Banco de México printed these peso notes in its own Mexico City works during the era of the "old peso". After the oil boom of the 1970s, the debt crisis of 1982 and inflation that peaked above 150% in 1987, ever-larger denominations were needed, and on 1 January 1993 Mexico introduced the nuevo peso, worth 1,000 old pesos, ending this classic series.

🎨 Design Details:
The obverse shows Justo Sierra at left and the UNAM Central Library with its mosaic murals at right. The reverse shows the arcaded courtyard of the 19th-century university building with an equestrian statue.

✅ Condition Guide:
AUNC (About Uncirculated). An About Uncirculated note looks almost new: crisp paper, bright original colours and sharp corners, with at most a single light fold, corner flick or minor handling mark from counting. Because we hold multiple quantities in inventory, the exact serial numbers and specific wear patterns will vary. This condition guide represents our overall quality standard rather than the specific flaws of the photographed note.
