1947-1948 Mexico Silver 5 Pesos Cuauhtemoc BU
Struck by the Bank of Mexico during a brief two-year window from 1947 to 1948, this impressive five pesos coin showcases the rich cultural heritage of North America. Each piece is minted in a brilliant uncirculated state, preserving the sharp details of its original production. The coin is composed of 30 grams of 90 percent pure silver, yielding a net weight of 0.8681 troy ounces of precious metal, and measures a substantial 40 millimeters in diameter. One side of this silver issue displays the Mexican national coat of arms, featuring an eagle perched upon a cactus while grasping a serpent. The opposite side honors the historical figure Cuauhtemoc, the final Aztec emperor, depicted in a detailed ceremonial headdress. Legible inscriptions on this side include the denomination of five pesos, the purity level of 0.900, the weight of 30 grams, and the Mo mint mark representing the Mexico City Mint.
