Mexico 5 pesos Chichen Itza La Iglesia Church Architecture silver coin 2012

This 2012 Mexico 5 Pesos silver coin is dedicated to Chichén Itzá and La Iglesia, an important Maya structure at the celebrated archaeological site in Yucatán. The reverse presents a finely rendered view of La Iglesia, with its rectangular doorway, massive stone walls, projecting horizontal cornices, stepped upper section and elaborate sculptural façade filled with geometric and figurative Maya ornament. The design is framed by CHICHÉN ITZÁ and LA IGLESIA, with the $5 denomination, Mexico City mint mark and 070707 motif. The obverse centers Mexico’s national coat of arms, showing the eagle grasping a snake while standing on a prickly pear cactus above oak and laurel branches. Around the central emblem are ten historic versions of Mexico’s eagle symbol, documenting the evolution of national heraldry. Struck in silver with a brilliant Proof finish, this architectural issue combines Maya heritage, archaeology and Mexican history in a richly detailed collectible.
