Silver medal oval Signs of the Zodiac - Leo proof

The silver medal of the Czech Mint from the gift series with the motifs of the 12 signs of the zodiac will become not only beautiful, but also a valuable talisman for anyone born under the sign of Leo.

The constellation of Leo resembles an animal king. The lion shines in the sky as a reminder of the valiant Heracles and the first of his legendary twelve quests to hunt down the dangerous and invincible beast. In addition to the constellations, the Lions in human form are ruled by another celestial body - the Sun itself. Just as the brightest star is the center of our solar system, so too do Lions tend to be the center of attention. Like their animal namesakes, they are dominant creatures who want to win in all circumstances. They are gregarious and charismatic, but can easily succumb to pride and arrogance.

The unusual oval-shaped medal bears a coloured depiction of a lion on the obverse side. No photographs or computer graphics were used as a template for the colouring - the medal maker Asamat Baltaev, DiS., created an original watercolour painting. The relief in the background presents a disc with a dozen zodiac signs, and the composition is completed by the Latin inscription LEO with the corresponding astrological symbol. The star symbols of the individual signs can also be found on the reverse side of the medal, which is common to the entire series.

The medal is stored in an elegant box.
