Humanities Questions: (A) What are Mexico's banking industry and the entire weight of Mexico's culture attempting to communicate by creating the images on this denomination of Mexico's currency? (B) What elements of her life are depicted herein? (C) What might Sor Juana think about this? (D) What does the content/sense/meaning/implication of this image #15 imply about Mexico's attitude toward the "separation of church and state"? (Note: The Mexican Constitution does clearly separate church and state.)
