In the hands of Ix Chel, you can notice a rabbit. He is depicted with her because she is often associated with the lunar crescent and rabbits. Besides, she has a coiled snake headdress, because it is a sacred symbol of Maya women, worn even today. The coin also depicts her crone aspect – she is pouring a large amount of water. And water in collaboration with a serpent is thought to represent the deluge that destroyed the second Maya creation of people.
