Beschrijving voorzijde Convex obverse bearing a detailed high-relief replication of the Aztec Sun Stone, with the solar deity Tonatiuh depicted at the center surrounded by four blocks representing the previous four cosmological eras. Concentric rings filled with Aztec calendar glyphs and serpentine motifs radiate outward, with four triangular arrow devices pointing toward the cardinal directions, and elaborate mythological figural imagery occupying the outer field.

Beschrijving keerzijde Concave reverse bearing the same Aztec Sun Stone design as the obverse, struck in intaglio-style relief to create a recessed dish form that allows the rounds to nest and stack. The central solar deity face, surrounding calendar ring, and outer serpentine figural devices are all clearly present, with the concavity accentuating the shadowing of the finely detailed glyphs.
