Discovered in 1790, the Aztec sun stone is among the most famous Mexica sculptures. This 12-foot-in-diameter sculpture weighs more than 20 tons and represents the Mexica people’s relationship with the gods, mainly the sun god. While debates still persist about its true meaning, it’s most commonly believed to represent the concept of time through the five eras. Now, you can witness this incredible piece of art with the 2 oz Aztec Sun Stone Silver Stacker, available at JM Bullion.
Stacker Highlights:
The 2 oz Sun Stone Silver Stacker features the same sun stone design on both the obverse and reverse. The design is a replica of the exact Aztec sun stone that was unearthed in 1790. The central image on the sun stone remains unknown, but most believe the center features the face of the solar deity, Tonatiuh. The face of the deity is encased in the symbol of movement, known as Ōllin. The central ring features 20 glyphs representing the 20 days of the Aztec calendar. The other border is wrapped by two fire serpents. Inscriptions are placed on the edge of the stacker. Also featured are four blocks that represent the previous four eras, as well as four arrows for the four cardinal directions.
Your purchase of a 2 oz Aztec Sun Stone Silver Stacker will arrive in a custom capsule to preserve its brand-new condition. Each stacker will contain 2 Troy oz of .999 pure silver. Featuring gold-plated visuals, each stacker is a replica of the real-life Aztec sun stone that was discovered in 1790.
It’s believed that this Aztec sun stone was carved between 1502-1520. However, the sun stone wasn’t discovered until 1790 when repairs were being made to the Mexico City Cathedral. After being stored there for nearly a century longer, in 1885 the stone was moved to the National Anthropology Museum in Mexico City. The sun stone has been used as a symbol many times. It’s been seen on Mexican currency, on the jerseys of the Mexican National Football team during the 1998 World Cup, and even by Elvis Presley himself during his Elvis in Concert TV performances.
