Some features of the banknote’s surface are in raised print (intaglio and/or embossing), which is perceptible by touch, specially the “Banco de México” text, the bust-head figure, the denomination number, the mark for the blind and visually impaired people, and the denomination in letters. Cotton-paper banknotes have intaglio in the color-shifting element and polymer notes have embossing in the clear window.

In the 20-peso banknote, the intaglio can be felt on the scale of justice; in the 50-peso banknote, on the cannons frame; in the 100-peso banknote, in the seated men; in the 200-peso banknote, on the books, the window and the inkwell; in the 500-peso banknote, on the arum lilies, the paintbrushes and the woman; and in the 1000-peso banknote, on the church and on the bell. The commemorative 100- and 200-peso banknotes also have raised print on the commemorative legend and on the number “2010”. This feature also appears on the diminishing text, in both cotton-paper notes and in the new 50-peso banknote.

When the banknote is new or has been hardly used, the intaglio and embossing is felt more easily.
