Mexico 1 Kilo Silver Aztec Calendar
A 1 kilo silver coin was first released in 2007, displaying a beautiful design of the Aztec calendar. The Aztec calendar design originates from the calendar system used by the Aztecs, which consists of a 365-day calendar cycle and a 260-day ritual cycle. These two cycles combine to form a 52-year century. The 365-day calendar cycle, known as "xiuhpohualli” or the "counting of the years," is based on the solar cycle. The calendar is divided into 18 groups of 20 days each.

The 260-day ritual cycle, known as "tonalpohualli" or the "counting of the days," is most likely based on astronomy. This calendar cycle was broken into units of 20 days and ran simultaneously with a group of 13 numbered days. The Aztec calendar stone displays this calendar system and the face of the Aztec sun god, Tonatiuh, in the center of the stone surrounded by four square panels honoring previous ages of the world.

The Mexican Mint
La Casa de Moneda de Mexico (Mexican Mint), which is the national mint of Mexico and the oldest mint in North America established in 1535, produces Libertads as well as the Aztec calendar coins. The Bank of Mexico is the Mexican Mint's largest client, producing circulating coinage and currency for the country as well as precious metal coins. The mint is in Mexico City.
