Description

The zodiac has a long, rich history that dates back to Hellenic and Babylonian civilizations, when astrology and astronomy were virtually inseparable. Today, its 12 signs entertain, intrigue, or inspire millions of people worldwide. People are entertained, or seek hope or guidance in the cyclical alignment of the stars and planets! The stars align in the 2017 Zodiac series.  The coins feature sparkling Swarovski crystal embellishments within a color-over-engraved rendition of the zodiac.

Indomitable Aries (March 21–April 20) always seems to be in motion. First in the zodiac (and in everything they do), this fire sign is a born leader who is swift to take action. Rare is the Aries who doesn't like to get things done in quick succession!

Turn this coin into jewelry!  A sterling silver necklace kit is available to create a pendant necklace with this coin (only one left!).  Contact us for more information. The perfect birthday gift for the leader Aries!

Special features:

• NEW! This is the fourth coin in a spectacular new series featuring 12 coins that represent the 12 signs of the zodiac!

• TWO SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL EMBELLISHMENTS! Each coin features two Swarovski crystal embellishments! The clear embellishment aligns with a zodiac symbol while the larger embellishment at the center represents the sign's color according to the zodiac color wheel.

• TURN  THIS COIN INTO JEWELRY! Transform the coin into a pendant necklace with the Sterling Silver Necklace Making Kit, sold separately (contact us to order).

• LOW MINTAGE! Limited to a maximum of only 5,500 coins worldwide.

• PURE SILVER!  This coin is crafted from 99.99% pure silver.

• GST/HST EXEMPT! For our Canadian customers, this coin is GST/HST exempt.

Design:

Designed by Pandora Young, the coin features an eye-catching combination of color and engraving that results in a beautifully artistic rendition of the zodiac. Like the stars and planets in the sky, a clear Swarovski crystal embellishment is in alignment with the traditional glyph of ram's horns, which is the zodiac symbol for Aries (March 21-April 20). At the center is a larger Swarovski crystal embellishment; its red color also represents those born under the Fire sign known for courage, confidence, enthusiasm, and determination.

Packaging:

Each coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell protected by a black beauty box.

"Best Offer" Pricing - Many of our Canadian coins are listed at fixed prices ("Buy it Now") or "Best Offer".  The foreign exchange rate for Canadian dollars versus US dollars varies from day to day.  So our costs for Canadian coins also vary from day to day.  Inviting our customers to make offers enables us to accept lower prices when a foreign exchange rate change has lowered our costs.

“Unsearched” — All of the coins offered in this listing are “unsearched”.  Many coin dealers “search” all coins when they are received from the Mint.  They "cherry-pick" the best coins.  Then submit them to be graded, certified, and slabbed by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc.  These graded and certified coins are then sold at higher, premium prices.  When a dealer searches coins, those that they sell in original Mint packaging are only lesser quality coins.

Photos: When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed.  Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered.
