DESIGN
The reverse design by Pandora Young features an eye-catching combination of colour and engraving that results in a beautifully artistic rendition of the zodiac. Like the stars and planets in the sky, a clear Swarovski crystal embellishment is in alignment with the traditional glyph of ram’s horns, which is the zodiac symbol for Aries (March 21-April 20). At the centre is a larger Swarovski crystal embellishment; its red colour also represents those born under the Fire sign known for courage, confidence, enthusiasm and determination. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
