| Reverse description | The reverse features a detailed relief depiction of the Casa de las Monjas (Nunnery Quadrangle), a celebrated Puuc-style Mayan palatial complex located at the archaeological site of Chichén Itzá, Yucatán. The architectural façade is rendered with precise detail, showcasing the characteristic ornate stone mosaic work and corbelled construction of the structure. The legend CHICHÉN ITZÁ arcs along the upper border, while CASA DE LAS MONJAS is inscribed along the lower border. The denomination $5, the Mexico City mint mark Mo, and the commemorative date 070707 (7 July 2007, the date Chichén Itzá was proclaimed one of the New Seven Wonders of the World) appear in the field. |
