!!Orange Swarovski® crystal disconnected from coin!!
This 2017 $3 proof fine silver coin is part of a mesmerizing zodiac series that features sparkling Swarovski® crystal embellishments within a vibrant colour-over-engraved depiction of the zodiac. The zodiac, with its long and rich history dating back to Hellenic and Babylonian civilizations, continues to intrigue, inspire, and entertain millions across the globe.
Struck in pure silver, the coin is dated 2017 and holds a denomination of $3. Weighing just over a quarter ounce of silver, its value is enhanced by a very limited mintage of only 5,500 pieces, making it a highly sought-after item for collectors and investors alike.
The Design:
The reverse design by renowned artist Pandora Young displays a stunning blend of colour and engraving, creating an artistic rendering of the zodiac. A clear Swarovski® crystal embellishment aligns with the traditional glyph of the Roman figure “II” for “2” or “twins,” symbolizing Gemini (May 21–June 20). A prominent orange Swarovski® crystal embellishment represents those born under the Air sign, symbolizing energy, cleverness, adaptability, and wit. The obverse of the coin features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, crafted by Susanna Blunt.
