Aztec Calendar Medallion

This Aztec Calendar Golden Medallion is art.

The ancient Aztecs of Mexico measured time with a sophisticated and interconnected triple-calendar system that tracked the movements of celestial bodies, provided a comprehensive list of important religious festivals and sacred dates, and gave each day a unique combination of a name and a number.

The Aztec Sun Stone is the most famous work of Aztec sculpture. The stone is a product of a highly sophisticated culture. On the reverse is a pyramid and a saying related to the Mayan doomsday prophecy. This prophecy was a driving force behind the 2012 phenomenon of eschatological beliefs.

FEATURES:

• REPLICA ART - This coin is a replica and an artistic interpretation of the art form known as the Hobo Nickel. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, hobos altered the designs of Buffalo Nickels to pass the time. This is a piece of Americana history.
