| Beschrijving keerzijde | At center within a D-shaped recessed field, a detailed rendering of the Aztec sculpture of Huehueteotl, the aged god of fire, depicted as a seated elderly figure wearing an elaborate headdress and ornamental necklace, his hands resting forward in a frontal pose, faithfully reproducing the pre-Columbian stone original. The date 1993 appears in the left field and the mint assayer mark Mo is visible at the right. The legend HUEHUETEOTL is inscribed in the lower flat band immediately below the central device, and the denomination N$5 appears beneath it near the bottom rim. The outer border mirrors the obverse, consisting of a continuous ring of raised Aztec-style glyph ornaments. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Huehueteotl series was part of Mexico's broader "Precolombina" bullion program launched in the early 1990s, which drew on the national museum's collection of pre-Columbian artifacts rather than colonial or republican imagery. Huehueteotl — the Aztec deity of fire associated with the hearth and old age — was among the earliest identifiable gods in Mesoamerican iconography, with representations dating back to Cuicuilco around 100 BCE.
