About the Aztec Calendar

The Aztec calendar, also known as the Mexican calendar, was used by the Aztecs and other Pre-Columbian peoples of central Mexico. It is one of the Mesoamerican calendars, with the basic structure shared by calendars from all over ancient Mesoamerica. The inner ring of the Aztec sun stone contains calendrical motifs.

The Aztec sun stone is an important item of Aztec architecture. The stone weighs approximately 26.5 tons and measures 12 feet wide and 3 feet thick. Following the Spanish conquest of Mexico and the Aztec Empire, the stone was buried in the centre of ancient Mexico City and unearthed in 1790 during repairs to the Mexico City Cathedral and is on display at Mexico City's National Museum of Anthropology. 

The calendar is divided into two parts: a 365-day calendar cycle known as xiuhphualli (year count) and a 260-day ritual cycle known as tnalphualli (day count). These two cycles combine to make a 52-year "century," also known as the "calendar round." Because it is based on the sun, the xiuhphualli is regarded as the agricultural calendar, while the tnalphualli is considered the sacred calendar.

Coin Design of the Aztec Calendar Rounds and Bars

The design on the obverse side of the 1 oz Aztec Calendar Silver Rounds are a copy of those seen on the authentic Aztec sun stone. The decorations are placed in a sun-like circle with the face of the Aztec solar deity, Tonatiuh, in the centre. He holds a human heart in each hand and is surrounded by a ring of 20 symbols representing the days of the month according to the Aztec calendar.

The reverse displays Cuauhtémoc, the final Emperor of Tenochtitlan, an Aztec-style border, and the inscription "ONE TROY OUNCE," ".999 FINE SILVER," and "CUAUHTÉMOC."
