Moktezuma's Crown in Mexico's Anthropology Museum

The replica of Moktezuma's crown is in Mexico's anthropology museum. Historians haven't yet found mention of the crown in any ship's records before it turned up in Austria. Mexican legal protections for archaeological goods go as far back as 1827 when tariffs for maritime customs and borders started prohibiting their extraction in export. Around 183,000 visitors come to see the panatua in Austria each year, which at 16 euros for an adult ticket makes up to 2,900,000 euros for the museum annually.
