The Bezel 14kt Plain 20 Pesos ONLY fits the 20 pesos gold coin. Bezels are not interchangeable for other coins, they are meant for the coins they are specifically assigned to. The Azteca was initially coined in 1917 pursuant to the characteristics of the 1905 Monetary Reform. The eagle on the 20 pesos coin has been present in Mexican coinage since 1825. The obverse features the Aztec Calendar. It is believed that when Hernan Cortes conquered Mexico in 1521, he found the Aztec Calendar at the city's "Templo Mayor". Demolished and buried when the Spaniards destroyed the Templo Mayor, it was rediscovered in 1790.
