Design

On both the obverse and reverse of the Aztec Sun Stone Silver Stacker, you’ll find a faithful representation of the renowned Aztec artifact. The Aztec Sun Stone is brimming with symbolism and iconography, with its various elements conveying the Aztec worldview and religious beliefs. For instance, at the center of the stone is the face of the sun god, Tonatiuh, sticking out his tongue. Tonatiuh was regarded as the fifth sun in the Aztec creation myth and was associated with the present era or the fifth world. The extended tongue represents the god’s thirst for human blood, which the Aztecs believed was necessary to ensure the sun’s continuous journey across the sky.

History

The Sun Stone is divided into four quadrants, each containing a glyph that represents one of the previous suns or eras according to Aztec cosmology. The Aztecs believed that previous worlds had ended in catastrophic events, and each era was associated with a different element.
