Description
Astrology is a discipline that attracts a wide audience thanks to its playful and accessible nature. It touches everyone in an intimate way and creates a sense of belonging by focusing on personality traits. Moreover, its aesthetic symbolism offers rich visual elements that can be an inexhaustible source of inspiration for artists. Astrological signs appear to be an obvious theme to explore for Monnaie de Paris, which therefore affirms its desire to appeal to as many people as possible, while allowing the talents of its craftsmen to express themselves.
The wheel of the zodiac signs is engraved on the coin’s gold-colored crown. One sign stands out from the background because it is larger than the others and has a sandblasted background, different from the smoother one of the others. This is the Pisces symbol. The right part of the wheel is drowned in a wave, in reference to water, the element of this sign. Two long-finned fish swim in circles in this water. In the background, a starry sky with the Pisces constellation.
