Veinte Pesos
The Veinte Peso, or 20 peso, coin is arguably the most unusual and beautiful of the Mexican pesos coins as it gives the appearance of a highly detailed coin sitting upon another coin
The 20 pesos coin contains exactly 15 grams of pure Gold which is confirmed by the coin's inscription '15 Gr. Oro Puro'. The design on the coin is the Aztec Sun Stone which is linked to human sacrifice
The center of the design represents the Tonatiuh, or sun God. The protruding tongue is said to represent thirst for blood and sacrifice. There are four additional suns around the center face, representing the five suns of the Aztec people
The five suns illustrate how the Aztec people believe the world was created with four Gods serving as the sun prior to our current 'fifth sun'. The Aztecs believed human sacrifice was required to keep the fifth sun from disappearing due to the threat of the moon Goddess
