2021 - Niue 1 NZD Silver Coin Sign of Zodiac - Virgo - 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 Virgo.

Who was the mysterious girl who shines in the sky today in the form of the constellation Virgo? It is not entirely certain, but most likely it was Dike - the daughter of the ruler of the gods, Zeus, who walked among ordinary mortals and intervened against injustice. People therefore began to worship her as a judge and goddess of justice. Those who have been assigned the sign of the Virgin tend to be diligent, consistent and practical and we can rely on them. They want to have their life firmly in hand and achieve all their goals. They have their feet firmly on the ground, but their pragmatism can turn into pessimism, an unhealthy obsession with details and over-criticism.

The unusual oval-shaped coin bears a coloured image of the Virgin on the reverse side. 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 the Virgin presents a disc with a dozen signs of the zodiac. The composition of the reverse side is completed by the Latin inscription VIRGO 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 housed in an elegant box.
