In return, modern day Incas demanded that Spain return all Incan gold, saying that they have proof that the gold came from what is now modern-day Mexico.

I was amused by that aspect too. “Give it back! We stole it fair and square!”

Uhh.... The Incas were in South America I believe. Ecuador,Peru etc. The Aztecs were in Mexico,but I do see your point.

The modern descendants of the Incas could only claim gold which originated from Peru, not Mexico (that would be the Aztecs)...

I have a coin that I wear all the time, Mexico and Spain would be fighting over it. It was found on the wreck of the Spanish ship the Atocha in the Caribbean where it had laid for about 400 years. The silver was mined in Mexico and the coin was minted there but it never made it to Spain. It is mine now!
