Title:
Aztec Calendar
Description:
Obverse: Depicts the famous Aztec calendar stone. The design is in a circular shape resembling a sun, with rays emanating outward. In the center is a face of the Aztec solar deity, Tonatiuh, which gives the monolith its alternate name, the sun stone.
Reverse: Depicts the striking left portrait of Cuauhtemoc, the last Aztec emporia of Tenochtitlan. The name Cuauhtemoc means ‘Descending Eagle’, as in the moment when an eagle folds its wings and plummets down to strike its prey. He wears the traditional headdress and ear ornaments of the Aztec elite, and is surrounded by and Aztec border as well as the inscriptions of his name, metal content, weight, and purity.
