Mexican Graphic License Plates, Distrito Federal through Guerrero

09: Distrito Federal

DF Mex #112KKU
 Distrito Federal 1999 passenger issue. Not really a "graphic," per se, DF plates of this time period were essentially just the old federal issues with the outside border removed. Earlier versions of this plate had an embossed "99" date in the corner, while later ones did not. The DF continues to use a unique 123-ABC passenger numbering format, as opposed to the ABC1234 format used by the rest of the jurisdictions.
DF Mex #509 LHY
 Distrito Federal undated passenger issue. Circa-2000 plate with the embossed "99" removed from the corner. Some plates in this series were apparently manufactured with different, wider dies as well before the district switched to its "angel" graphic in 2001.
DF Mex #259 LNC
 Distrito Federal undated passenger issue. Variant as mentioned before with the thicker serial dies. This version started in the mid "L" series and seems to have carried over until the new graphic issue started, in the late "L" series.
DF Mex #116-LYK
 Distrito Federal undated passenger issue. New plates from Mexico City. This plate features a graphic of the Ángel de Independencia on Avendia Reforma - a monument to Mexican independence in Mexico City. As with previous issues, the DF is the only Mexican jurisdiction to use a reversed 123-ABC serial format.

10: Durango

Dgo Mex #FYG4213
 Durango undated passenger issue. This plate features the state name spelled out in full at the bottom, with a horse and rider to the left and the Durango City cathedral to the right.
Dgo Mex #FYZ-77-75
 Durango undated passenger issue. The new Durango graphic, featuring a treeline at the bottom and the government logo at the top left. The state's alphabetical number (10) is hidden in the trees to the left of the state name.

Missing/Needed: Durango Gen 3

11: Guanajuato

Gto Mex #GHC6082
 Guanajuato undated passenger issue. I've always liked this issue a lot, it stands out quite a bit from the rest of the graphic plates. This issue has a green and blue background with white bead-reflective lettering. The state seal is seen on this plate as well, at the bottom left. Guanajuato, I believe, was the first state to break from the 1992 federal issue and issue its own unique graphic plate, releasing this issue in 1995.
Gua Mex #GHX-64-95
 Guanajuato undated passenger issue. This plate takes a relatively simple approach, with gold and purple stripes at the top and bottom and a small state seal at the top left.

12: Guerrero

Gro Mex #GZF5185
 Guerrero undated passenger issue. First graphic plate from Guerrero, they opted for the "state seal in the center" approach as well, which was taken by quite a few states with these plates. The seal makes it awfully difficult to see the center character on the plate, I'll say. These plates carried a vehicle class designation at the bottom, "Servicio Particular" indicating a private passenger vehicle.
Gro Mex #GZW-99-84
 Guerrero undated passenger issue. This is perhaps my favorite of the current Mexican graphics, from the state of Guerrero. The graphic shows images of the Mezcala suspension bridge, a jumping sailfish, and the gates of the Fort of San Diego, among other things. This is one of a handful of these new plates to include both the full state name and the old abbreviation (GRO MEX) at the same time.
Gro Mex #GZA-83-41
 Guerrero undated passenger issue. This new graphic was introduced in 2006 and incorporates several graphic elements. The background is an ocean scene with sailboat to the left, sailfish, and the cliffs of Acapulco to the right. At the center of the plate is the state seal in full color.
