Design Details
The Zodiac Collection highlights the twelve astrological signs that have been used for centuries to represent personality traits, cosmic cycles, and celestial mythology.

The reverse displays the head of a goat, the traditional symbol of Capricorn. Above the design appears the inscription “Capricorn,” along with the astrological symbol representing the sign. Surrounding the central image are the twelve zodiac constellations, reinforcing the celestial theme of the collection.
