Description

This sterling silver medal from the Franklin Mint's Signs of the Zodiac series depicts Pisces, the Fish. Pisces governs those born between February 19 and March 20 and is associated with empathy, creativity, and spiritual sensitivity. In Greek mythology, Aphrodite and Eros transformed themselves into fish to escape Typhon and were commemorated as the constellation Pisces, typically depicted as two fish swimming in opposite directions connected by a cord. The Franklin Mint's interpretation renders the paired fish in high-relief silver, capturing the fluid movement and symmetry of the traditional astrological symbol. Private mint medallic productions document contemporary American cultural interests and commemorative priorities through their choice of subjects, designs, and distribution methods. Pisces, as the final sign of the zodiac, holds special significance in astrological tradition as representing the culmination of the spiritual journey through all twelve signs.
