I've heard of the Mayan calendar before, but what exactly is it?
Let's first talk about the people to whom this Mayan calendar commemorative coin honors.
The Mayans are known to have been one of the most technologically advanced civilizations of their time.
They are particularly recognized for their progress in astronomy, mathematics and literature.
Among their achievements, these people invented a calendar of remarkable precision and complexity. This is also the Mayan lucky charm we are talking about here.
The Mayan calendar uses three different dating systems in parallel, the long count, the Tzolkin (a divine calendar) and the Haab (solar calendar).
The long count was used to measure long periods and is notably responsible for the "end of the world" predictions that we heard about in 2012.
The Haab is the calendar most similar to the one we use today.
The Tzolk'in was only 260 days long and was primarily used for religious purposes.
With these three tools, the Mayans could organize the entire life of their society.
Although it is no longer used today, having a commemorative Mayan calendar coin in your pocket is a good way to remember the importance of the passage of time.
This kind of Mayan lucky charm somehow connects us to our temporal obligations and is therefore a good way to anchor us in the present.
