While going through the coins I found in the strong box I had a locksmith open, I found a Mexican five peso coin from 1953.
It is called the Hidalgo Silver Commemorative.
It is the size of a U.S. silver dollar. As I knew nothing about the coin, I took a look online to learn about it.
It turns out that the coin is a circulating commemorative silver coin celebrating the bicentennial of Hidalgo's birth.
