2021 - Niue 1 NZD Silver Coin Sign of Zodiac - Aries - Proof

Sign of Zodiac

The silver coin of the Czech Mint from the gift series with motifs of 12 signs of the zodiac will become not only a beautiful, but also a valuable talisman for everyone who was born in the zodiac sign of Aries.

The constellation that gave the sign its name represents a winged ram with a legendary golden fleece. The mythical creature is known from several ancient Greek legends - for example, the one about Jason and the Argonauts. Like the animal that symbolizes them, human Rams have boldness, fighting spirit, and strong willingness in their blood. However, their temperament can quickly grow into impatience or aggression. In addition to the constellations, the Aries are ruled by another celestial object - the planet Mars, which embodies the Roman god of war, but also fertility. Therefore, they have their own actions and passions, and their innate creative power can easily turn into destructive power.

The coin of a non-traditional oval shape bears a colored image of a ram on the reverse side. Photographs or computer graphics were not used as a template for coloring. Asamat Baltaev, DiS., the author of the coin, created an original watercolor painting. The relief in the background behind Aries presents a disk with a dozen zodiac signs. The composition of the reverse side is then completed by the Latin inscription ARIES and the corresponding astrological symbol. Since the coins of the Czech Mint are licensed by the island of Niue, their obverse sides bear its national emblem, the nominal value of ONE DOLLAR (NZD) and the year of issue 2021. All this is surrounded by twelve astrological signs.

The coin is stored in an elegant box.
