Iron Coin of the Faceless Man
$12.00 $14.00
This wax seal coin is engraved after the Aztec Sun Stone, a representation of the five eras of the sun from Aztec mythology. After the Spanish conquest, the monolithic sculpture was buried in the Zócalo, the main square of Mexico City. It was rediscovered on 17, December 1790 during repairs on the Mexico City Cathedral.
Each Sun Stone Wax Seal coin comes in its own wax-sealed packaging with facts about the art of the Sun Stone, a substantial artifact that gives us a better understanding of the historically significant Aztec peoples.
Wax Seal Coins are struck one at a time in the USA using antique machinery and traditional coining techniques.
