Distributors

A 1kg pure silver coin depicting the "Aztec Calendar" was issued during a special event held at the Museo Nacional de Antropología located in Mexico City in 2007.

The coin is set with several accessories which include a case which its design evokes a pre-hispanic brazier specially designed to keep and exhibit the coin; a certificate of authenticity with serial number; a book allusive to the Aztec Calendar's history, minting and coin's issue; as well as a magnifying glass to observe the fine detail of the piece.

Since 2020, the Aztec Calendar 1 kg silver coin has new features in its mode of presentation. The case has a diamond-shaped design with beveled contours and the coin's logo in laser engraving. The interior of the case is lined with velvet and includes an octagonal-shaped, folded-type certificate holder that contains a brief description of the Aztec Calendar and a certificate of authenticity.
