2025 3 oz Aztecs Empire Proof Silver Coin - Legends
CIT's Legends Series delivers copper, gold, and silver coins imprinted with legendary figures from the world’s history.
The 2025 edition is the series’ 4th release and pays homage to the Aztec Empire through the depiction of Cuauhtémoc.
Cuauhtémoc, the last Aztec ruler, became a powerful symbol of resilience during the fall of Tenochtitlan. In 1521, he led the city's valiant defense against Hernán Cortés and the Spaniards. Even in defeat and under brutal torture, Cuauhtémoc remained steadfast, refusing to betray his people or reveal their treasures. The elite jaguar and eagle warriors stood by his side, the mightiest in the Aztec army.
This coin, in particular, is a heavier option in the series. It contains 3 troy oz of 99.99% pure silver, gilded design details, holds legal tender status fully backed by the Cook Islands, and is struck in a limited number of 500 pieces.

The Design
The reverse depicts Cuauhtémoc, a jaguar and eagle warrior clad in majestic animal skins and adorned with striking helmets. The Cuauhtémoc’s helmet and skin are gilded, making a rich contrast with the coin’s brilliant silver.
The obverse displays Templo Mayor, a central sanctuary of the Aztecs, where rituals were held, surrounded by the Aztec solar calendar. The effigy of King Charles III’s effigy lies at the bottom, encircled by the engravings “20 DOLLARS,” “CHARLES III,” “2025,” and “COOK ISLANDS.”
Because of CIT’s exclusive Smartminting® Technology, the images engraved on both sides are in ultra-high relief, which gives the artistry a 3-D effect.
In addition, proof coins exhibit brilliant surfaces, contrasting with the matte images imprinted over them and highlighting the most intricate design details.
