'''Mava''', an unincorporated territorial entity of [[Atitlan]] uses only one official legal tender currency, which is the [[Atitlan|Atitlanese peso]]. The Atitlanese peso has circulated in the islands since their annexation in the early eighteenth century, with plans for a separate Mavean currency pegged to the peso never coming to fruition.
'''Akteenalak Tiivuq''' (born 19 April 1982) is a Mavean-Atitlanese politician and member of [[Mava Council]] since 2012. She currently serves as a member of the council's Executive Board, leading the Communities portfolio.


Beginning in 1988, the [[Mava Council]] has issued special commemorative coins, which are minted in Atitlan and sold to collectors. These coins are often commissioned by companies and individuals, with the Mava Council receiving payment and part of the profits of any sale for the right to use the name "Mava." The coins are an important part of the Mavean economy, providing both capital and name recognition, encouraging tourism and investment.
==Biography==
Akteenalak was born on 19 April 1982 in Atlalilco the daughter of a Mavean mother and Atitlanese father. Her father, Guillem Cuéllar was a police officer whilst her mother, Akteenalak Taatunuk, worked as a secretary. Aged 10, her family moved to Mava, where she was educated in Paas. She returned to Atitlan aged 13, on the death of her father, but once again moved to Mava permanently at 16.


Coins issued by the Mava Council do not constitute a true currency as they are not used as a means of exchange. Although they may lawfully be used as tender, they are intended as numismatic items and are rarely found in circulation. As such, the name "Mava peso" is not the name of a currency but rather a collective name for all Atitlanese peso coins issued under the name of Mava.
She has three brothers, one of whom is Aamailet Guillem, who is a captain in the [[Law_enforcement_in_Mava#Mava_Mines_and_Properties_Police|Mines and Properties Police]].


==History==
She serves as a volunteer at the Mava People Project, which provides assistance to immobile and elderly people. In 2023, she received Mava Council's [[Mava civic awards|Service to the Community Award]] for her work.
The first Mavean coins were issued in 1988 under contract from the Museo Nacional de Historia Militar, releasing a series of coins to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the Five Hundred Days' War (1863-1864). The coin series was approved by the Atitlanese ministry of finance, with the use of the monarch's profile approval by Tlatoani Chimalpilli.


==Designs==
She was elected a member of Mava Council in 2012, becoming the youngest member ever elected to the council (she was 30 at the time). She was also the first openly LGBT+ person elected to the council.

The first commemorative peso coins were issued in 1988, bearing the effigy of Chimalpilli, as designed by Miguel Angel Tudela.
Her appointment to the Communities portfolio drew criticism from conservative elements in Mavean society, with her sexuality the main target for complaint.
