Perhaps not. Mexican independence dates from 1821, not 1811. Even before then, as a province of Spain, Mexico coined its own money, in the name of the Spanish Viceroy.

I think the currency was based more upon gold and silver than on a money reserve at that time. Didn't really matter if it was gold peso or an eagle piece.
