The Aztec Empire was known for its gold for the reason that it was the color of the sun, one of their great gods. They used gold in their artwork to symbolize their sun god. However, they didn't make coins out of that gold. That wasn't started until after the Spanish conquered the Aztec Empire.

Mexico was to remain under Spanish rule for almost three centuries and during that time, Spanish style gold coins were made in Mexico. You can tell these Mexican gold coins apart by their mint marks and it included the escudos series such as half escudos, escudos, two escudos, four escudos, and eight escudos.
