Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 500th anniversary of the Fall of Tenochtitlán, which was the capital of the Aztec Empire and was conquered by the Spanish in 1521. The coin's design features an image of the city's famous Templo Mayor, or Great Temple, which was a central religious and cultural site for the Aztecs. The coin's bimetallic composition, with a nickel brass center and aluminum bronze ring, adds to its unique and collectible nature.
