More than 400 years after his death, the last Aztec Emperor was honored on a circulation silver coin issued by the Mexican Mint. Cuauhtemoc came to power in the Aztec Empire in 1520 and faced a losing situation. He did what he could to defend his people and his empire, but the deck was stacked against the Aztecs at that time. The remaining 5 Peso silver coins the Mexican Mint issued in 1947 and 1948 with an effigy of Cuauhtemoc are coveted by collectors today. Right now, 5 Pesos Mexican Cuauhtemoc Silver Coins from 1947/1948 are available to purchase online from JM Bullion.
