The obverse side of these 1 oz Aztec Calendar Silver Rounds faithfully replicates the mesmerizing designs of the Aztec sun stone. These intricate patterns are arranged in a circular fashion, resembling the sun, with the face of Tonatiuh, the Aztec solar deity, at the center. Tonatiuh holds a human heart in each hand and is encircled by 20 symbols representing the days of the month in the Aztec calendar.

On the reverse of the 1 oz Aztec Calendar Silver Round, you will find a left-profile bust of Cuauhtemoc, the last emperor of the Aztec Empire. His reign was short-lived, lasting only one year. By the time Cuauhtemoc assumed power, the capital city of Tenochtitlan had already been destabilized by Spanish conquistadors. Following the deaths of Moctezuma II and his brother, Cuauhtemoc was elected leader by the noblemen. This design depicts him wearing the headdress and earring typical of Aztec nobility.

The Aztec Calendar Silver Rounds are produced by the Golden State Mint, a distinguished private American minting company founded in 1974. The Golden State Mint offers an expanding range of gold, silver, and copper rounds.
