Struck in Geneva, these " Order " should represent the claim of GUILLERMO III DE GRAU-MOCTEZUMA (1917-1999) for the throne of the Aztec Empire. This claim is based on the pretended succession from Maria Xipaguazin Moctezuma or her sister Tecuichpoch Isabel Moctezuma, both daughters of Moctezuma II, the last ruler of the Aztec Empire (1502-1520), captured and probably killed by Hernán Cortés, Spanish conquistador. Guillermo III de Grau Moctezuma, the self-proclaimed head of the Aztec Imperial House, died on 09.16.1999 without children or siblings. By his will, Don Jose Moscardo Vercher became the heir of the Aztec Crown bearing the title of His Imperial and Royal Highness Jose I.
