| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed high-relief scene depicting the Aztec legend of Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl: a kneeling male warrior figure, muscular and partially draped, cradles a reclining female figure whose long hair flows across rocky terrain. The silhouettes of the two great volcanoes—Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl—rise dramatically in the background against an open sky, rendered with deeply sculpted relief contrasting the polished upper field. The lower exergue bears a recessed panel containing the legend in two lines, stating the date, fineness, mint marks, and denomination. |
