| Reverse description | The central field features a highly stylized Aztec relief depiction of Quetzalcóatl, the feathered serpent deity, rendered in the tradition of pre-Columbian stone carving with bold, intricate geometric and serpentine motifs radiating from the creature's fanged visage. The date '1997' and the Mexico City Mint mark 'Mo' appear to the left of the design within the field. The legend 'SERPIENTE EMPLUMADA' curves along the lower periphery of the inner circle, with the denomination '$50' inscribed below in the exergue. The entire composition is enclosed within an ornamental beaded border consistent with the series design. |
