Overview
The obverse features the Mexican National Coat of Arms: an eagle perched on a cactus devouring a snake, surrounded by the inscription 'ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS' and a floral wreath.
Historical significance
The design represents the founding legend of Tenochtitlan (modern-day Mexico City), where the Aztecs were told to build their city where they saw an eagle eating a snake on a cactus. This 'Nuevo Peso' series was introduced in 1993 after a period of hyperinflation.
Estimated value
$1.00 - $5.00 USD (depending on denomination and condition)
Care & preservation
Handle by the edges to avoid fingerprints; store in a cool, dry place in a PVC-free holder; do not clean with abrasive chemicals as it can damage the numismatic value.
