The obverse displays a powerful left-facing portrait of an Aztec warrior adorned with an elaborate feathered headdress and traditional ear ornaments. The engraving emphasizes texture and dimension across the feathers, facial contours, and ceremonial attire, giving the design a sculptural appearance. Surrounding legends confirm the round’s two-ounce weight and .999 fine copper purity, reinforcing its bullion identity while maintaining strong artistic character.
The reverse is inspired by the Aztec Sun Stone, an artifact representing the Aztec interpretation of time, cosmic order, and spiritual balance. The central solar face is surrounded by intricate circular bands filled with glyphs and symbolic imagery tied to natural forces and mythological beliefs. The Aztec timekeeping system combined a 365-day solar cycle with a 260-day sacred cycle, creating a layered calendar structure where each day carried its own identity, spiritual association, and ruling deity. This sophisticated system reflected a deep cultural connection to astronomy, spirituality, and the cyclical nature of existence.
This round is minted by Golden State Mint, a private mint recognized for producing high-quality copper bullion products with sharp detail and consistent strike quality. Each piece contains 2 Avoirdupois ounces of .999 fine copper, offering a heavier and more substantial feel than standard 1 oz rounds.
The round measures approximately 47 mm in diameter and about 4.08 mm thick, giving it a bold presence in hand and on display. The edge features a reeded design, adding both visual detail and traditional coin-style finishing.
Rounds are typically delivered mint fresh. Packaging commonly consists of protective flips for individual pieces, while bulk quantities are often supplied in mint tubes of 25 rounds. The combination of larger format, historical theme, and recognized private mint production helps distinguish this round from many standard copper bullion pieces.
The 2 oz Aztec Calendar Copper Round from Golden State Mint delivers substantial copper weight, exceptional engraving detail, and deep cultural symbolism in one collectible piece. Whether you are building a copper bullion position or expanding a historically inspired collection, this round offers lasting visual and intrinsic value.

I purchased a few 2 oz coppers to make a set with the 2 oz and 5 oz Silver Aztecs. These coins are good examples of the type of quality products produced by GSM. I would recommend the GSM silver bars as well. I certainly recommend Hero: they have always provided excellent value and service. Thanks Hero!
