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

This 2012 Mexico 5 Pesos silver coin celebrates Chichén Itzá and La Iglesia, an important Maya building within the celebrated archaeological site in Yucatán. The reverse presents La Iglesia in detailed relief, showing its rectangular entrance, carefully defined stone masonry, projecting horizontal cornices, stepped upper structure and richly ornamented façade with sculptural masks, geometric bands and decorative Maya motifs. CHICHÉN ITZÁ crowns the design, with LA IGLESIA below, while the $5 denomination, Mexico City mint mark and 070707 motif appear beside the structure. The obverse features Mexico’s national coat of arms: an eagle grasping a snake while standing on a prickly pear cactus, framed by oak and laurel branches and ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS. Ten historic forms of the Mexican eagle emblem surround the central arms. Struck in silver with a brilliant Proof finish, this distinctive coin combines Maya archaeology, ancient architecture and the evolution of Mexican national symbolism.
