2024 NGC PL-70 1 oz Cortes Gold Coin - Commander Series
The Commander Series from the Scottsdale Mint showcases superb craftsmanship and high-purity gold.
This collection features silver and gold coins in various sizes, depicting iconic historical figures who played significant roles as leaders.
Previous editions of the series have honored Napoleon Bonaparte and General Patton, and the third release now features Hernán Cortés.
Hernán Cortés de Monroy y Pizarro Altamirano, 1st Marquess of the Valley of Oaxaca, was a Spanish explorer whose expedition led to the collapse of the Aztec Empire, bringing much of present-day Mexico under the dominion of the King of Castile in the early 16th century. Cortés was among the Spanish explorers and conquistadors who initiated the early stages of Spanish colonization in the Americas.
