On the coin’s obverse side is the popular, last Aztec emperor, Cuauhtémoc. He is widely respected for surviving the Spanish conquest. Mexico has honored him by putting his portrait on legal tender and by erecting statues all over Mexico.  Cuauhtémoc’s name comes from the Spanish for “one who descended like an eagle’. This is fitting because like the eagle, Cuauhtémoc, showed determination and aggressiveness in ruling the Aztecs. Above his portrait is written, “Quarter Troy Ounce”. Beneath his image is ‘999 Fine Silver’. His name, ‘Cuauhtémoc’, is written right under his portrait. 

 

The reverse of the coin features the Aztec calendar. The Aztec calendar, which is round, fits perfectly on a coin. This calendar is very complex and covers 52 years. The way the Aztecs mark time is very different from us. While we would say months, days, and years, they say time like 7 rabbit 1 wind 7 reed and point out what deity is overseeing this year. For the Aztecs, the calendar didn’t just tell them what day it was but what kind of a day it would be. It’s kind of like our horoscopes.
