Mexico Silver 5 Pesos Cuauhtemoc (1947-1948): product overview
Cuauhtémoc on a twentieth-century peso
Cuauhtémoc was the last ruler of Tenochtitlan before its fall in 1521. Mexico later placed his portrait on a five-peso silver issue introduced in 1947. The portrait connects this twentieth-century coin with a much earlier chapter of Mexican history; it does not mean the coin was made in the sixteenth century.
