Obverse

On the obverse of the 2 oz Aztec God of Death Silver Stacker, youll find the haunting image of Mictlantecuhtli. This figure is typically shown with a skull-like head and skeletal body, symbolizing his dominion over the dead. His open mouth is a reminder of his eternal hunger for souls, while his adornments, including owls and human bones, further connect him to the underworld.

History

Mictlantecuhtli played a significant role in Aztec religious practices and beliefs about the afterlife. The Aztecs believed that the manner of one’s death determined their afterlife destination, with most people journeying to Mictlan. This underworld was seen as a place of trials and hardships, where the souls of the dead had to overcome nine challenging levels before reaching their final resting place. Mictlantecuhtli, along with his wife Mictecacihuatl, ruled over this realm and oversaw the souls’ journey.
