    i got this a few weeks ago just thought id share :) its a beautifully struck coin and a pretty cool conversation piece being it was to predict the end of the world which obviously didnt happen. the details in it are amazing and the calendar depicting in center a GoD performing a human sacrifice as he holds a beating heart surrounded by the months amid symbolism of the era. its a peek into a mysterious rather dark period in time. 200908021730847.jpg 200908021806701.jpg

    Mine is a much cheaper version with a little more tongue-in-cheek take on the end of the world "prediction", I think. Also a conversation piece. Polish_20200908_204845087.jpg

    It is indeed beautiful, but it's not a coin. That's a silver round.

    There are, however, Mexican coins with Aztec calendar motifs.

    The 10 pesos has a wonderful Aztec calendar in a bimetallic module

    As stated above it is a bullion round produced by The Golden State Mint in central Florida. They are good looking pieces

    the designs of the 1, 2 5 10 peso coins, the rings are pieces of the Aztec calendar, you can't stack them, but the center is on one, then the rings are on the other pieces designs of the bimetallic coins.
