Inscriptions around the rim confirm the round’s weight and purity: five ounces of .999 fine copper. The bold border framing the portrait provides a clean, balanced finish that complements the intricate obverse.

The reverse showcases the iconic Aztec calendar, often referred to as the Sun Stone. At the center appears the face commonly associated with Tonatiuh, the sun deity, encircled by layered rings of symbolic glyphs representing days, cycles, and cosmological elements. Each band is filled with geometric patterns and mythological imagery that reflect the sophistication of Mesoamerican timekeeping. The raised relief and deep recesses create dramatic contrast, allowing shadows to accentuate the design’s complexity across the broad copper surface.

The Aztec calendar remains one of the most recognized artifacts of ancient Mesoamerican civilization. By translating its detailed carvings into a large copper format, this round pays tribute to the artistic and astronomical achievements of the Aztec culture.
