This coin shows a relief detail of the Coatepantli wall. It shows a serpent with a skull (Serpiente con cr�neo). This relief contains images that have motifs of eagles eating bloody hearts; it also shows a snake that represents the god Quetzalcoatl, as the morning star or Venus. The outline of the coin is based on the armor of a Quetzalcoatl figure.
