| The '''Silver Kilunik''' is a silver coin originating from [[Mava]] and produced at the Casa de Moneda Imperial de Atitlán. The coin was introduced in 2013, with each annual issue seeing a new reverse design featuring the kilunik, a now-extinct wolf native to the islands.
| |
| | |
| The coins are available in various sizes and denominations, with a fine weight of between 1/10 ounce and 5kg in silver of 999/1000 fineness. The one ounce coin has a nominal value of 50 pesos and is legal tender in [[Atitlan]] (including Mava), although its silver weight greatly exceeds this.
| |
| | |
| The coins are noted for their designs, many of which have received praise amongst numismatists. Initially selling in only modest numbers, the Silver Kilunik has become a popular coin amongst collectors. In addition to the bullion version, a proof and reverse proof version of the coin is manufactured for the collectors market, with an additional premium. A limited run of coins with an antique finish was released in 2021, with a mintage of 20,000.

| The obverse features the bust of Huey Tlatoani Macuilxochitzin, as designed by Nil Ariza. Surrounding the bust is a legend reading: "MACUILXOCHITZIN • H TLAHT • ATIT • 50 PESOS," an abbreviation of "Macuilxochitzin Huey Tlahtoani de Atitlan." There is some dispute about the correct spelling of the monarch's title, with the Mavean coins using an alternative spelling now unused.

| | |
| The reverse design changes each year. In each year, the kilunik features in some form. The coin's name and its purity, in Almagrian and Mavean, is also shown, as is the year of issue.
