The Hellenic and Babylonian civilizations of thousands of years ago were among the first to explore astrology and astronomy as inseparable concepts to their society. There are a total of 12 signs in the Zodiac, and the new collection of Royal Canadian Mint coins explores each one with beautiful colorized designs and Swarovski crystals.
All 12 symbols of the Zodiac are featured on each of the coins in this collection, but there is a detailed difference in the individual reverse design fields on each release in the collection. There are not one, but two Swarovski crystals on the reverse of each coin, with one colorized in the center of the design and one aligned with the symbol on the Zodiac.
On the reverse of the 2017 ¼ oz Canadian Silver Zodiac Aquarius Coin is the image of all 12 Zodiac symbols, the Aquarius symbol lined up at the top and a Swarovski crystal aligned with it in the circular shape. The Aquarius represents those born from January 21 to February 19, and are known for intelligence, creativity, and progressiveness.
The obverse of all 2017 ¼ oz Canadian Silver Zodiac Aquarius Coins includes the image of Queen Elizabeth II, captured in right-profile relief by Susanna Blunt. This particular effigy was created in 2003 and began appearing on Canadian coinage in 2004.
Each 2017 ¼ oz Canadian Silver Zodiac Aquarius Coin in this collection arrives in the Royal Canadian Mint’s classic maroon clamshell for beautiful display, and includes a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
