Each of the 2017 ¼ oz Canadian Silver Zodiac Taurus Coins is available to you in the maroon clamshell display of the Royal Canadian Mint. The clamshell protects your coin in shipping and offers the perfect display set as part of your collection. Each coin comes with an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
Zodiac Series coins from the Royal Canadian Mint are exciting and altogether different coins for collectors. Zodiac-themed silver bullion coins all feature the same design concept on the reverse, with minor changes to each one that highlight the particular Zodiac symbol for the release period.
Along the reverse of the 2017 ¼ oz Canadian Silver Zodiac Taurus Coin you’ll find the symbols for all 12 signs of the Zodiac, with not one, but two Swarovski crystal embellishments on the reverse side. What changes from one release to the next in the collection is the orientation of the 12 symbols, with the highlighted symbol (Taurus) located at the top and set by a beautiful clear crystal.
On the reverse of the 2017 ¼ oz Canadian Silver Zodiac Taurus Coin is the image of all 12 Zodiac symbols, the Taurus symbol lined up at the top and a Swarovski crystal aligned with it in the circular shape. The Taurus represents those born from April 21 to May 20, and are known for reliability, stability, devotion, and patience.
The obverse of all 2017 ¼ oz Canadian Silver Zodiac Taurus 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.
