2025 Cook Islands Legends Aztec Empire 1/2 Gram Gold Proof Coin

Cuauhtémoc, the last ruler of the Aztecs, was a symbol of unwavering resistance when Tenochtitlan fell – and he showed the world what it means to fight to the end. In 1521, he led the city’s defense against the Spaniards under Hernán Cortés. The mighty jaguar warriors, clad in magnificent skins, and the imposing eagle warriors who watched over the battlefield fought alongside him. These elite warriors were the strongest in the Aztec army, distinguished by their magnificent armor and impressive helmets.
