Pre-Columbian period - before Christopher Columbus reached America and the conquest of this continent by the Spanish conquistadors, America was a land inhabited by indigenous peoples who developed their own civilisations and culture. In addition to tangible cultural testimonies such as sculptures or buildings, the pre-Columbian peoples created their mathematical systems, the alphabet and the ritual ball game Ullamaliztli.An added bonus is that the obverse and reverse are reversed 180 degrees to each other, which undoubtedly makes them unique.The reverse shows the figure of the Ullamaliztli player. Below this is the denomination while to the right is the year the coin was struck. The obverse depicts the coat of arms of Mexico, i.e. an eagle holding a snake in its beak and claws, which is surrounded by a wreath. Above this is the inscription ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS, or the United States of Mexico. Do you need help?
