Description from the seller

Mexico 2011 – Chichén Itzá – The Nunnery (El Convento)
1 oz Silver Proof Coin
This exquisite 1 oz silver proof coin from Casa de Moneda de México is part of the celebrated Chichén Itzácollection — a numismatic tribute to the legendary Mayan city, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The 2011 release, “The Nunnery (El Convento)”, honors one of the most architecturally intricate structures in Chichén Itzá, located within the complex known as Las Monjas. The building is believed to have served ceremonial and administrative purposes, showcasing the mathematical precision and cultural sophistication of the Mayan civilization.
Struck from 1 ounce of .999 fine silver in proof quality, the coin features mirror-like fields and frosted details that bring out the beauty and symbolism of this sacred site.

The Chichén Itzá – The Nunnery (El Convento) 2011 1 oz Proof is a beautiful numismatic tribute to Mayan history and architecture — combining cultural depth, artistic design, and exceptional minting quality from Casa de Moneda de México, the oldest mint in the Americas.
Please note: Proof silver coins may display minor surface marks, micro-scratches, or light toning due to the natural properties of silver and the minting process.
These are typical for proof-quality coins and do not reduce the collectible or market value of the item.
