326-327 AD Constantine I with the "camp gate" reverse. Looks like a castle to me?

 

Mexico with a Mayan Temple.

 

It is actually an Aztec pyramid not a Mayan Temple. The tiny lettering just below the step spells Teotihuacan, the location of the pyramid on the coin.

The actual Teotihuacan Pyramids in Mexico

 

Right you are!

 

I just looked it up and it was built by the Mayans 1000 years after it was abandoned the Aztecs came in and named it teotihuacan...

 

Didn't read that far into it. I guess we were both right. Did it say what the Mayans called it?
