1/4 oz Aztec Calendar Silver Round

1/4 oz Aztec Calendar Silver Round

For about 200 years, the Aztecs ruled much of southern Mexico. The Aztec Empire ruled from 1345 to 1525, when the Spanish conquistadors came and conquered them. Despite the fact that it has been nearly 500 years, the Aztec Empire is still prevalent in Mexican pop culture, with references appearing in a number of films, television shows, and even on precious metal designs.

The popular Aztec Calendar design has appeared on silver rounds and bars in numerous sizes. Each of these products is struck by Golden State Mint, a well-respected private mint that has been in the business for more than 40 years. 

The Design

The iconic Aztec Calendar Stone is featured on the obverse. Tonatuih, who is described as the Aztec sun god, is shown on the infamous stone. "CUAUHTEMOC" is written beneath his face. The face is encircled by three rings of pictures depicting the Aztec Empire's history.

The reverse features the last Aztec emperor, Cuauhtemoc. Today, he is considered one of the most important symbols in Mexico, while also representing the indigenous people living in the area. His iconic portrait is found on all Silver Aztec calendar pieces. Above you will find the inscription “QUARTER TROY OUNCE” and below, “999 FINE SILVER.”
