Commentary


Cet exemplaire est la frappe d’origine et est difficile à trouver. La “Pierre du Soleil” est un disque monolithique de 3,60 m de diamètre et 1,22 m d’épaisseur et pesant 24 tonnes. Découverte par hasard en 1790 à Mexico lors du pavage d’une place, cette pierre serait un autel sacrificiel sculpté sous le règne de l’empereur aztèque Axayácatl. Elle est conservée au Musée National d’anthropologie de Mexico.
