Here is a complete set of Mexico 200 pesos issued on 02.09.2019 commemorating the 25th Anniversary of the Autonomy of Banco de Mexico 1994-2019. The design of the notes are the same as those issued previously except the commemorative texts are added to the note under the bank's name - 25 Aniversario de la Autonomia 1994-2019.

What does the autonomy means to the bank? It means that the Bank of Mexico has the autonomy in managing the country's money supply, credit policy and requires staggered terms for members of the bank's governing body, so as to prevent selection of a majority during the term of any one Mexican president. It also means that the bank does not have to take instructions from the government of the day for printing more money to pay for the deficits, just like the United States and Germany. Independence also means less pressure from politicians too.

Design
