Jack is right about the scenes.., and CLEARLY you CAN see the Aztec symbol on the coins back side., As it were the Aztec symbol., is because IT WAS AZTEC GOLD., and of course the curse on the other side., the reason for the double skull coin., is to KNOCK HOME into the viewers head "CURSE" so they get a double sided skull from the prop man and slow-mo the coin falling into the chest to drive this home to the viewing public "Curses" and thats really about it..., My self I have a ROMAGOLD Coin which I prefer hands down over a plated coin., the reason being is a plating will wear off in a few years and doesnt take kindly to jewelry cleaner.., RomaGold alloy being the metal used by jewelers to increase a golds strength and reduce 24k's content DOWN to 14k or 10k must be of a type of alloy that doesnt corrode or turn GREEN or any other non jewelry type of dirty bugger you would not be happy with..., therefore Romagold alloy is a superior metal for the prop it is wearble on a daily basis for life without fading or peeling or wearing as it is the gold color THRU the metal. The Aztec coin is the HERO prop for the movie., although the double skull being the most remembered., A HERO prop is a Prop that sells to an audience WOW thats awesome., (for example Eastwood carries a rubber 44 horseback thru a river then he pulls the gun CUT giving eastwood A GOOD one) for the FULL SCREEN CLOSE UP ..., thats a HERO prop
