Swarovski® Crystals adorn the reverse of a new zodiac coin from Canada, which highlights the Taurus star sign for those born between 21 April and 20 May.
Designed by artist Jori van der Linde, the coin features an engraved outer ring of Roman numerals to give the appearance of a classic timepiece.
An inner ring of Swarovski® crystals surround a dark blue zodiac-themed image, that pairs the constellation and symbol associated with Taurus. The obverse of the coin features the word “CANADA”, the face value “5 DOLLARS”, the year “2019” and the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
