Welcome to Numismat
Today we present the commemorative trimetallic coin of the Mayan culture
Mayan culture is one of the richest and most important cultures and there haven't been few occasions when tribute is paid
This medal commemorates the rich and vast legacy of the Mayan culture and is coined by the Mint of Mexico
The pyramid of Kukulkan on the obverse and in macro looks incredible, look at that.
On the right the mark of the mexican mint and we can see even at the macro level the detail of the serpent heads at the foot of the stairs. Wow
Chichén Itzá wonder of the world and Yucatán, Mexico are the legends that can be read in the inner circle
In the outer circle and surrounding the entire periphery we can see the symbols of the Mayan calendar one of the most accurate among the cultures of antiquity
The details are magnificent
Now let's see what we have on the back of this beautiful medal
In the center we have a representation of the ball game marker beautifully decorated by a snake. Wow it is a work of art
The Mayan culture is known to be one of the most precise in its numerical system and is of the first to incorporate the number zero
In the middle circle we can see the notation of lines and points
The Mayans also had a second numerical notation called heads based in which they used heads of deities to represent the numbers
and this numbering of heads is what surrounds the entire contour of this piece
The piece measures 50 millimeters and weighs 52 grams. The center and outer ring is made of brass and the ring intermediate is from CuNi and for these three separate sections it is known as trimetallic
The finish is satin and mirror and the edge is smooth
In internet buying and selling groups you can find it at about $20 USD or $400 Mexican pesos. A true beauty but now, let's see what pieces are with us today.
