The stargazers of ancient Greece referred to it as zodiakos kyklos, the “circle of animals,” and on this 99.99% pure silver coin from the Royal Canadian Mint, the artistic representation of the Zodiac was partly inspired by the marble statues of the Classical period. Running counter clockwise in zodiacal order around the Sun and Moon, each of the 12 signs of the Zodiac – from Aries (“1”) to Pisces (“12”) – is represented by a classical figure in the outer circle and a corresponding glyph in the inner portion, while touches of celestial colours speak to humanity’s fascination with the night sky.
Enhanced with selective colour, the reverse design by artist Steve Hepburn features an engraved celestial illustration of the Sun and Moon surrounded by the 12 signs of the Zodiac. Inspired by classical Greek sculpture, the figures representing each sign on the outer circle are paired with their corresponding glyph in the second band, which is set against a colourful night sky, and these are numbered based on their zodiacal order (beginning at the top and moving in a counterclockwise direction): Aries (“1”), Taurus (“2”), Gemini (“3”), Cancer (“4”), Leo (“5”), Virgo (“6”), Libra (“7”), Scorpio (“8”), Sagittarius (“9”), Capricorn (“10”), Aquarius (“11”) and Pisces (“12”). The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign.

“Next time you’re checking out the astrology section in your paper or online, remember that the earliest recorded horoscope dates back to the 4th century BCE in ancient Mesopotamia—this should give you some perspective on our enduring fascination with astrology. With their deep symbolic meaning and unique characters, the signs of the zodiac are a wonderful subject for any artist to work with. This was a fun project to be a part of, and that I’ll never look at the daily horoscope section the same way again!”

The term comes from the Greek eklektikos, “to choose the best”, and that from eklektos, “picked out, select”. We have embraced this approach of choosing only the best for our 2nd edition of the «Eclectic Nature» series.
The veiled chameleon is a remarkable species that hails from the arid regions of Yemen and Saudi Arabia. The most notable feature is a large, elaborate bony protrusion atop its head, which is called a casque. Both males and females sport this fancy headgear, which allegedly serves to channel water droplets down into the reptiles’ mouths, a crucial adaptation in their dry habitats.

The Taj Mahal, a magnificent mausoleum, was completed in 1648 in Agra, India. The Great Mogul Shah Jahan had this masterpiece built in honour of his late wife Mumtaz Mahal, who passed away in 1631. The name Taj Mahal, which means ‘crown of the palace’, is a tribute to her.
The construction period lasted 22 years. The core of the building, the dome and the filigree minarets are made of bricks fired on site and clad both inside and out with gleaming white marble slabs. Decorated with a multitude of precious stones from distant lands, it attracts around 5 million visitors every year.
The freestanding coin with an antique finish is already the 4th issue in this successful series. The ultra-high relief on both sides impressively highlights the special architectural form of the building. The obverse shows details of the tomb, while the reverse depicts the interior view.
Just as the Taj Mahal is a monument to eternal love, this exquisite coin is a numismatic work of art of poignant beauty.

The Zodiac is an ancient system of astrology dividing the sky into twelve segments, each linked to a constellation and calendar period. These signs—Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces—are believed to shape personality, behavior, and life direction. Originating from Babylonian astronomy and refined by the Greeks, the zodiac continues to be an influential framework for interpreting human nature and cosmic influences across various cultures.
Cancer, the fourth zodiac sign (June 21–July 22), is symbolized by the Crab and ruled by the Moon. Deeply emotional, intuitive, and loyal, Cancerians are known for their protective nature and strong connection to home and family. Their sensitivity and empathy allow them to nurture others with great care, while their intuition guides them through life’s tides. Like the Moon that governs their sign, Cancers radiate quiet strength, reflection, and deep emotional wisdom.
