The "10 Aztecas de oro Cuauhtémoc" is a private commemorative issue rather than legal tender produced by Banco de México. The name references the gold Azteca coin series introduced in 1921, which were actual bullion coins rather than circulating currency — so the denomination here is deliberately evocative rather than monetary. Státní Tiskárna Cenin in Prague has produced security documents and banknotes for dozens of countries since the interwar period, and their involvement here speaks to the facility's capacity to take on small commemorative runs with full security printing.
