The Sun Stone was remarkably rediscovered on December 17, 1790, during routine repair work on Mexico City’s Metropolitan Cathedral in the Zócalo. Workers excavating the plaza unexpectedly unearthed the enormous carved disc, stunning colonial authorities and scholars who quickly recognized its immense historical and cultural significance. Shortly after its discovery, the stone was mounted on the wall of the cathedral itself, where it remained on public display for several years before eventually being transferred to a more suitable museum setting.

On the obverse of the SilverTowne Aztec Calendar Silver Bar, the Sun Stone is depicted with careful attention to its original detail. The design incorporates layers of cosmological and religious symbolism central to Aztec tradition. At the center is Tonatiuh, the sun god, framed by four rectangular sections that represent the four previous world ages, each believed to have ended in catastrophe. Surrounding these elements are circular bands featuring the 20 day-signs of the Aztec ritual calendar, along with solar rays, representations of jade and turquoise as symbols of wealth, and two Xiuhcoatl fire serpents that encircle the entire composition. The reverse features a portion of the Sun Stone design.
