In the early 20th century, it was common for nations around the world to issue circulation coins using silver. In the United States, silver coins were in production until 1964. To the south, Mexico also issued silver coins into circulation. In 1947 and 1948, the Mexican Mint issued a coin with an effigy of Cuauhtemoc on the reverse field of the coins. Today, 5 Pesos Silver Mexican Cuauhtemoc Coins are available to you online at Silver.com.

The Mexican Cuauhtemoc coins were only issued by the Mexican Mint for two years. In 1947, the series debuted with 5.11 million coins produced. The next year, in what turned out to be the final year of production, the mint released 26.74 million coins. These circulation pieces featured 90% silver content and 10% copper for durability in circulation.

All of these 5 Pesos Silver Mexican Cuauhtemoc Coins are available to you in XF or AU condition. The coins here are either Extremely Fine or About Uncirculated. An AU coin is in the better condition of the two with only extremely light wear and tear on the highest points and the potential for full mint luster to remain. An XF coin has light wear and tear on its highest points with only traces of the mint luster possible.

Silver.com selects coins to fulfill your order at random after your payment has cleared. As a result, we are not able to guarantee the date mark and specific condition of the coin you receive. Please keep in mind that you can receive coins with the same date marks and conditions when buying multiples.

On the obverse of 5 Pesos Mexican Cuauhtemoc Coins is the national coat of arms. The national coat of arms is based on the Codex Mendoza image of an eagle devouring a serpent. The Ancient Aztecs were told by their gods to look for this event and found the city of Tenochtitlan upon the site where the eagle was eating a snake. That remains the national seal today, with a golden eagle devouring a snake on a cactus branch in the design.

The reverse face of 5 Pesos Silver Mexican Cuauhtemoc Coins bears a depiction of Cuauhtemoc. The final ruler of the Aztec Empire, Cuauhtemoc came to power as the Spanish were conquering the empire. He was unable to turn the tide against an enemy with superior weapons and diseases not seen in the New World that had ravaged the native populations.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
