Step into the rich world of Mesoamerican history with the stunning 1 oz Copper Aztec Calendar Round, struck in .999 fine copper. This intricately designed round pays tribute to the Aztec Sun Stone, one of the most iconic and mysterious symbols of ancient Mexico, combining cultural heritage with affordable collectibility.
The design draws inspiration from the Aztec Sun Stone, a monumental carved basalt artifact unearthed in 1790 in Mexico City. Believed to have been crafted during the rule of Emperor Moctezuma II, this stone embodies the Aztec civilization’s deep knowledge of time, the cosmos, and spiritual forces. At its center is a depiction thought to be Tonatiuh, the sun deity, encircled by elaborate symbols that illustrate Aztec deities, calendar days, and the cosmic cycles that structured their view of the universe.
