Reverse description The reverse depicts, at left, a Mesoamerican ballgame (juego de pelota) player in dynamic relief, rendered in a pre-Columbian artistic style, representing the ancient ritual sport. To the right, a series of vignettes illustrates the Olympic disciplines in which Mexico has won gold medals. The legend DISCIPLINAS DE ORO OLIMPICO MEXICANO and ENCUENTRO DE DOS MUNDOS appear in the field, along with the date 2008, the denomination $5, and the mint mark Mo. The composition commemorates both the ancient indigenous sporting tradition and Mexico's modern Olympic achievements.
