This is a very meaningful coin for Mexicans, as it celebrates our independence. It is also a symbol of support and representation of women’s rights.
The obverse shows the Angel of the Independence iconic monument located on the most beautiful avenue of Mexico City and which serves as a celebration and meeting point for Mexicans.

The Angel of Independence watches over the two highest volcanoes in the hemisphere: Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl. Behind the breathtaking view of the valley of Mexico comes the legend of these volcanoes. According to Aztec mythology, Popocatepetl was a handsome warrior and Iztaccihuatl was the daughter of the tribal chief. Before leaving for war, Popocatepetl asked for permission to chief for the hand of the princess and her father accepted.

A love rival had told the princess that the young warrior had passed away while at war and she died of sadness. Upon his victorious return, Popocatepetl was informed by the horrible news and ordered to build a large tomb facing the sun. He placed the princess on top of the mountain, took a torch and knelt to ensure their eternal sleep.

On the reverse of the coin is the current coat of arms, which is inspired by the legend of the foundation of Tenochtitlan. Which says that Dios Huitzilopochtli told the Aztecs that they founded the city and that they would find an eagle perched on a cactus devouring a snake. This is how this coin combines the past with the present of Mexico.
