2019 Canada $5 Zodiac Series: Aries Fine Silver

2019 Canada $5 Zodiac Series: Aries Fine Silver Coin

One by one, the 12 zodiac constellations rise and march across the night sky in the Royal Canadian Mint's 2019 Zodiac series. First in the zodiac and in everything they do, Aries (March 21-April 20) is always in motion. This Fire sign is a born leader who is swift to take action. The thrill of the moment drives adventure-loving Aries, who is often willing to jump straight into the fire without giving it a second thought—even in love. In addition, your coin features a clock-like outer ring of Roman numerals, an inner ring of Swarovski crystals, and a zodiac-themed image of the constellation and symbol for Aries.
