Just to add some ideas for your type set, which sounds like an exciting endeavor!
Those super cool bronze 20 centavos date from 1943 to 1974, with three different eagle reverses.
There was a short-lived 25 centavo 30% silver coin with the scale on the obverse. 1950-1953.
The Carranza 5 peso is actually dated 1959.
In the 10 pesos there is also a 1960 dated coin...Independence Anniversary.
You could stretch it to the very common 1968 Mexico City Olympics 25 peso. Try to get all three of the varieties for a challenge. There is also a silver 25 peso dated 1972 (Juarez).
Then finally to one of the I believe last circulating BIG silver coin, the 100 peso coins dated 1977-1979.
Good luck with the project!!
