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, one of the remarkable Maya structures within this renowned archaeological complex in Yucatán. The reverse presents a detailed frontal view of La Iglesia, emphasizing its stepped masonry, doorway, projecting cornices, richly ornamented upper façade, sculptural masks and intricate geometric stone decoration. The inscriptions CHICHÉN ITZÁ and LA IGLESIA frame the monument, accompanied by the $5 denomination, Mexico City mint mark and 070707 motif. The obverse displays Mexico’s national coat of arms: an eagle holding a snake while perched on a prickly pear cactus, surrounded by oak and laurel branches and ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS. Around it appear ten historical forms of Mexico’s eagle emblem, creating an impressive survey of the nation’s evolving heraldry. Struck in silver with a brilliant Proof finish, this issue combines Maya archaeology, architecture and Mexican national symbolism in an exceptionally detailed collectible.
