For two years in the late 1940s, the Mexican Mint issued a 90% silver coin into circulation that bore the image of one of the most famous Aztec leaders from pre-Columbian Central America. The 5 Peso silver coin featured a bust of Cuauhtemoc, the final Aztec Emperor who died in the custody of the Spanish Conquistadors in 1522. Right now, 5 Pesos Mexican Cuauhtemoc Silver Coins are available to purchase online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 5 Pesos Mexican Cuauhtemoc Silver Coin available here comes with a protective plastic flip. These particular coins are available as either Extremely Fine or About Uncirculated coins. The condition of an XF coin shows only light wear and tear on the highest points of the coin with some traces of the original mint luster. AU coins have extremely light wear and tear on the highest points with medium-to-full mint luster still present.
The Mexican Mint issued these coins only in 1947 and 1948, with roughly 5.11 million coins issued in 1947 and 26.74 million coins in 1948. JM Bullion cannot guarantee the date mark on the coin you receive, nor can we guarantee whether you receive an XF or AU coin. If you buy more than one, you could receive coins that have matching dates and conditions. All coins have 90% silver content with 10% copper.
The obverse side of 5 Pesos Mexican Cuauhtemoc Silver Coins features the Mexican coat of arms. The national coat of arms has evolved over time since Mexico’s independence in 1821. This version of the coat of arms depicts a powerful golden eagle perched on a broad cactus branch as it battles with a serpent. The design is inspired by the Codex Mendoza, an ancient symbol pointing the Aztecs to the spot upon which the capital of Tenochtitlan was founded.
On the reverse face of 5 Pesos Mexican Cuauhtemoc Silver Coins is a bust of the Aztec leader. In this portrait, Cuauhtemoc is depicted in left-profile relief wearing ornamental symbols of his status as the Emperor of the Aztec Empire.
