    I'm kind of on the fence with this one, but since no one has posted about it, thought I would share.

    ‘Aztec Five Suns’ is the first release in the ‘Ages of Man – Creation of World’ series.

    Desc: "The reverse of this coin is so full of scenery it’s difficult to describe in a short paragraph. Please read the background information below first. In the middle of the reverse, the inner circle, the first gods (moon & sun) from the void are represented in traditional Aztec style. The ring around the circle depicts the four gods for each wind direction with the crocodile teeth below. The remainder of the coin is divided into 5 sections each with scenery of the 5 suns or creations of world. From the edge to the middle there is a huge height difference in such a way all the suns are in the sky. On the edge there is the writing ‘FIRST SUN’ ‘SECOND SUN’ ‘THIRD SUN’ ‘FOURTH SUN’ ‘FIFTH SUN’ with some ornaments. In the design of the fifth sun is written 2021 (the year of issue).

    The obverse side of the coin depicts a special Coat of Arms of the Republic of Palau with the inscriptions: “REPUBLIC OF PALAU” (the issuing country) and “TWENTY DOLLARS” (the face value) at the bottom. At the top edge the series inscription ‘AGES OF MAN’. It is decorated with a central part representing the creation of the world with hands holding it. The sun and rays complete the obverse."
