The Commander Series from the Scottsdale Mint is a testament to high craftsmanship and high-purity silver.
The series delivers gold and silver coins of varied sizes imprinted with the most iconic figures who played important roles as leaders in the world's history.
The series’ previous releases portrayed Napoleon Bonaparte and General Patton. The third strike introduces Hernan Cortes.
Hernán Cortés de Monroy y Pizarro Altamirano, 1st Marquess of the Valley of Oaxaca, was a Spanish explorer who headed an expedition that led to the downfall of the Aztec Empire, bringing much of present-day mainland Mexico under the control of the King of Castile in the early 16th century. Cortés was among those Spanish explorers and conquistadors who initiated the first phase of Spanish colonization in the Americas.
