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. It is the symbol of the Taurus. A pattern of leaves, mushrooms and crystals, reminiscent of the sign's element, earth, surrounds the imposing bust of a bull. The animal's horns and forehead are adorned with arabesques. The starry sky in the background features the Taurus constellation.
The Collection
Millenia old, astrology has evolved over the centuries as this collection will over the years. It will be reissued for several year dates, to live on in our permanent collection. The Astros collection coins of Monnaie de Paris will be engraved every year, to delight both initiates and novices looking for an object that matches their personality.
The theme of astrology was an immediate inspiration for the engraving workshop. It allows a great creative freedom, and we enjoyed imagining, one by one, the representations of the 12 zodiac signs. The universe we invented for this collection is both graphically and symbolically rich. It seems to me that it is the perfect interpretation of the encounter between this popular theme and the know-how of Monnaie de Paris.
