Tuvalu – 2022 – 5 Dollars – Signs of the Zodiac 5oz silver

Description

The Signs of the Zodiac 2022 5oz Silver Antiqued Coloured Coin is a stunning numismatic tribute to the ancient art of astrology, rooted in the 2nd century AD when Ptolemy codified pre-existing beliefs into the twelve zodiac constellations. Each sign — Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces — is vividly depicted in coloured artistry by Perth Mint designer Lucas Bowers, complete with its name and pictogram. At the centre, a stylised Sun radiates outward, uniting the celestial cycle. Struck from 5 troy ounces of 99.99% pure silver as Tuvalu legal tender, this rimless antiqued coin captures intricate detail while giving each piece a unique finish. The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, alongside the purity, weight, denomination, and 2022 year-date. With a limited mintage of just 388 coins, each comes presented in a classic display case with an illustrated shipper and numbered Certificate of Authenticity. Specifications: Silver Content 5 troy oz, Denomination 5 TVD, Purity 99.99%, Minimum Gross Weight 155.533 g, Diameter 55.90 mm, Thickness 7.50 mm, Maximum Mintage 388. A celestial masterpiece for collectors drawn to both precious metals and the mysteries of the zodiac.
