| Additional information |
The "Dintel 26" in this series title refers to a carved limestone lintel from Yaxchilán, a Maya city-state on the Usumacinta River in what is now Chiapas. Lintel 26 dates to around 726 AD and records a bloodletting ritual performed by Lady Xoc, consort of Shield Jaguar II. Mexico's Casa de Moneda issued this as part of a broader pre-Columbian art bullion series launched in the early 1990s — a deliberate program to capture international silver investors while simultaneously promoting indigenous archaeological heritage as a national asset.
The original limestone carving is housed in the British Museum, having left Mexico in the 19th century.
