The Aztec Calendar Silver Bar (1 oz) Box of 500 is the highest quality version of one of the most detailed and historically significant private-mint silver bars ever designed. Each bar is .999 fine silver, manufactured by Golden State Mint, a privately owned American mint since 1974, and has a faithful reproduction of the famous Aztec Sun Stone on one side and a portrait of Cuauhtemoc, the last Emperor of Tenochtitlan, on the other side.
The Box of 500 contains 25 mint tubes of 20 bars of .999 fine silver in one of the boxes issued by the mint, which is the most cost-efficient per-ounce design format available.
This box is the ultimate entry point for dealers, institutional stackers, and high-volume investors looking to make significant silver purchases at a discount.
The Obverse Profile — The Aztec Calendar Stone
The obverse is a replica of the Aztec sun stone, which, modified from its original circular shape, hangs vertically on the bar's field.
In the center is the face of Tonatiuh, the fifth solar god and deity of the Aztecs, with his tongue as a flint knife, representing the human sacrifice the sun demanded each day for his rise.
Concentric circles surround Tonatiuh, and they are filled with the 20 symbols of the tonalpohualli, the Aztec ritual calendar, a total of 260 days, surrounded by four representations of previous cosmic eras, and with astronomical markings.
The Reverse Profile — Cuauhtémoc, Last Emperor at Tenochtitlan
The other side shows a headdress portrait of Cuauhtemoc, the final emperor of the Tenochtitlan Aztec capital, with elaborate featherwork and plumage, and in high relief with decorative armor and earrings.
In Nahuatl, his name translates to "Descending Eagle"—he was captured by the Spanish conquistadors in August 1521 and executed in 1525, becoming Mexico's most famous symbol of indigenous resistance.
When Motecuhzoma II ruled some 300 years ago around 1511 AD, the original stone was carved from basalt to a 12-foot diameter and about 3 feet thick and weighed about 24 metric tons. It was on the ruins of the Great Temple of Tenochtitlan (now Mexico City), the capital of the Aztec people.
The stone was hidden for more than 250 years after the Spaniards conquered Tenochtitlan in 1521 until it was accidentally found in December 1790 during the repair work done on the cathedral. It is now permanently displayed at the National Museum of Anthropology, Mexico City.
Although the stone is referred to as a "calendar," modern scholars have concluded that it was actually a sacrifice altar, or cuauhxicalli, "eagle vessel," in which offerings were made to the gods to feed Tonatiuh.
This re-imagining makes the stone even more fascinating as a subject: As a stone of cosmological power, rather than a timekeeper.

The price of this is about $38,595 for 500 bars, which works out to be about $4-$5 over spot per ounce—which is one of the lowest premiums for any named-design 1 oz silver bar.
