Niue – 2025 – 2 Dollars – Aztec Emperor Cuauhtémoc Tribute 1oz silver

Description

The Aztec Emperor Cuauhtémoc Tribute Coin honors the legacy of Cuauhtémoc, the last sovereign ruler of the Aztec Empire, and is inspired by the original 5 Pesos silver coin issued by Mexico in 1947–1948, which depicted the emperor as a symbol of indigenous strength, resilience, and cultural pride. Struck in 1 oz of .999 fine silver with a BU matte finish, this modern tribute preserves the historic design and significance of the original, first issued in a post–World War II era of renewed national identity and celebration of Mexico’s pre-Hispanic roots, while commemorating Cuauhtémoc’s courage and leadership during the final chapter of the Aztec civilization. Issued by Niue in 2025 with a face value of 2 Dollars, the coin measures 38.6 mm in diameter, features a 2.9 mm relief and a 4.5 mm thickness, and is strictly limited to 999 pieces worldwide. Each coin is presented in a display box with a Certificate of Authenticity, making it a striking collectible for history enthusiasts and numismatic connoisseurs.
