Interesting fact

The Xochimilco pattern on the coin's reverse is a nod to the Aztec's agricultural practices. Xochimilco was a major agricultural center in the Aztec empire, known for its floating gardens and canals. The pattern on the coin features a stylized design of a Xochimilco garden, complete with flowers, trees, and waterways. This design not only adds aesthetic value to the coin but also serves as a reminder of Mexico's rich cultural heritage.
