Thermometer Aztec Calendar - silver coin with thermometer
A unique silver coin issued by the State of Tuvalu in 2018 in 99.99% silver purity and weighing 2 ounces refers to the Aztec Heritage. The coin features a circular thermometer with numerical values of Celsius and Fahrenheit.
The reverse side of the coin features a detailed thermometer and a depiction of the Aztec sun in the center. The thermometer is surrounded by Aztec iconography based on a circular solar calendar. The top of the coin depicts the fire god Tonatiuah holding an arrow in one hand and a burning torch in the other. In his ears are flame earrings. At the bottom is the god of frost and cold, Itztlacoliuhqui blowing cold and carrying an arrow in his hand.
The Aztec empire in pre-Columbian America was located in what is now Mexico. During their heyday, a considerable number of cities were built, in which many monuments survive to this day. The empire was disrupted in the 16th century by European conquistadors led by the Spaniard Hernán Cortés.
The obverse of the coin bears a small portrait of Queen Elizabeth II at the top, followed by the inscriptions "QUEEN ELIZABETH II", "TUVALU" and details of the denomination, weight, silver purity and year of issue around the rim. The narrower rim and the centre of the back of the thermometer are decorated with an Aztec design.
The coin comes in a presentation frame and original gift box with a certificate of authenticity in a limited edition of 2500 pieces for the whole world.
