| Obverse description | Detailed high-relief rendering of the Mexica Sunstone (Aztec Calendar Stone) filling the entire field, featuring the central face of the solar deity Tonatiuh surrounded by concentric rings of calendrical glyphs, day signs, and serpentine devices. The design replicates the iconographic complexity of the original monolithic stone, with multiple decorative bands radiating outward to the rim. |
