{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}The Aztec Sun Stone design is widely recognized and continues to be featured on modern bullion rounds for collectors interested in historic artwork. Based on an original carving from the Aztec civilization, this design reflects their beliefs and understanding of the world. When struck on silver rounds, it provides a detailed visual along with the value of .999 fine silver. Today, 1/4 oz SilverTowne Aztec Calendar Silver Rounds are available online at BGASC.
Highlights:
These 1/4 oz SilverTowne Aztec Calendar Silver Rounds are included in a larger selection of Calendar Stone bullion items from SilverTowne. Along with this fractional round, the series also offers larger silver rounds, copper rounds, and silver bars. Each piece is available individually in a plastic flip or in tubes of 30 rounds.
Obverse
The obverse of the SilverTowne Aztec Calendar Silver Rounds displays the detailed Sun Stone design. This image comes from a large basalt carving created by the Aztecs. At the center is Tonatiuh, the sun god, shown with a blade-like tongue. Around him are symbols representing previous world ages, followed by the 20 day signs from the Aztec calendar. The outer sections include patterns, rays, and serpent figures.
Reverse
On the reverse of the 1/4 oz Aztec Calendar Silver Rounds, there is a right-facing image of Emperor Cuauhtemoc. He became the final ruler of the Aztec Empire in 1520. As Spanish forces led by Hernan Cortes moved to conquer the empire, he led the defense of Tenochtitlan. After the city fell, he was captured in 1521 and later executed.
History
The original Aztec Calendar Stone is an impressive piece of ancient work. It was carved from a single piece of basalt, measuring about 12 feet across and weighing close to 25 tons. The design brings together elements of religion, timekeeping, and art in one structure.
