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

Sign of Zodiac

The silver coin of the Czech Mint from the gift series with the motifs of the 12 signs of the zodiac will become not only beautiful, but also a valuable talisman for anyone born under the sign of Libra.

While all other animal constellations depict living creatures, Libra is the only inanimate object. However, they are by no means a mere tool. They symbolize law and justice and are conveniently found near the constellation Virgo, which is identified with the ancient goddess of justice, Dike. People born under the sign of Libra tend to be prudent, balanced and harmonious. They always consider all possible consequences before committing to something, which often turns into excessive hesitation and indecision. Libras also tend to be very tactful, charming and sociable and display a refined aesthetic sense.

The unusual oval-shaped coin bears a coloured image of Libra on the reverse, supported by a baroque cherub. No photographs or computer graphics were used as the basis for the colouring - the author of the coin, Asamat Baltaev, DiS., created an original watercolour painting. The relief in the background behind Libra presents a disc with a dozen zodiac signs. The composition of the reverse side is completed by the Latin inscription LIBRA and the corresponding astrological symbol. As the coins of the Czech Mint are issued with the foreign licence of the island of Niue, the obverse side bears 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.
