📖 Story – The Zodiac & Astrology
The zodiac is an ancient system dividing the sky into twelve constellations, each associated with personality traits and cosmic influence.
Popularised by Ptolemy in the 2nd century AD, astrology interprets the positions of celestial bodies to understand human behaviour and predict future events.
This coin celebrates the enduring fascination with astrology, bringing together all twelve zodiac signs in a unified celestial design.
🎨 Design Description
The coin features a central coloured motif of the Sun and Moon, symbolising balance and cosmic energy.
Radiating outward, the design is divided into 12 segments, each representing a zodiac sign with:
- A white silhouetted figure
- Corresponding constellation
- Name and pictogram of the sign
The antiqued finish enhances the textures, while the colour application highlights each zodiac segment, creating a vibrant celestial composition.
The obverse features the Queen Elizabeth II Memorial effigy by Ian Rank-Broadley, along with the dates of her reign, weight, purity, denomination, and 2023 year-date.
