A Silver Kilo coin was first released in 2007, displaying a beautiful design of the Aztec Calendar. The Aztec Calendar design originates from the calendar system that was used by the Aztecs, consisting of a 365 day calendar cycle, and a 260 day ritual cycle. These two cycles combine together to form a 52 year century. The 365 day calendar cycle is known as "xiuhpohualli", or the "counting of the years", based on the solar cycle. This calendar was divided into 18 groups of 20 days each. The 260 day ritual cycle, known as "tonalpohualli", or the "counting of the days", was 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 that displays this calendar system also has 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.

Gorgeous, like previously mentioned, this is a piece of art. I normally collect for investing purposes, but I had to have this piece for my work desk. Best thing about these Kilos, the value has only increased as I have owned it, which I wasn't expecting, just wanted a beautiful coin to enjoy while I work. Just as stunning by the way is the Libertad in the wooden box from the same mint, I have the 2008 and love them both.
- Bottom Line
- Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Absolutely STUNNING coin - simply piece of art. Five stars to APMEX (as usual): the lens in the box was broken and APMEX sent me a replacement next day - no questions asked! I will definitely continue to buy from APMEX.
- Bottom Line
- Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
