Mexico 2015 Aztec Calendar $100 1 Kilo Silver Coin

The reverse of the 2015 Mexican Aztec Calendar 1-Kilo Silver Coin.

One of the most impressive modern coins ever struck, this Mexican $100 Aztec Calendar coin recalls more than a thousand years of national history and culture. Its 1 kilo size is certainly impressive, but even more so is the intricate level of detail exhibited on this limited mintage silver coin’s design. Only 500 examples were struck. Each coin comes with a serial-numbered certificate of authenticity, a book detailing the history of the Aztec calendar, a magnifying glass, and an engraved wooden box.
