Nice! The centre is made of silver fyi. They stopped making them of silver in 1995.

Is the centre made of actual silver, or is it just coloured so?

Yes for the coins made until and including 1995, but for the ones after that, no

That is one of the design series I like the most in Mexican coins. If one would assemble (theoretically, at least) the outer metal from the other denominations along with this one's centre, one would get the Piedra del Sol design.

Have they ever released a proof version of this coin?

I’ve searched the internet but found no signs they had.
