(1960s)-FM Silver Medal Sagittarius Signs of the Zodiac

Coin Details

Description

This sterling silver medal from the Franklin Mint's Signs of the Zodiac series depicts Sagittarius, the Archer. Sagittarius governs those born between November 22 and December 21 and is associated with adventure, optimism, and philosophical inquiry. In Greek mythology, Sagittarius represents the centaur Chiron, the wise teacher of heroes including Achilles, Jason, and Asclepius, who was placed among the stars by Zeus after his accidental death. The Franklin Mint's medallic interpretation typically depicts the centaur archer drawing his bow toward the heavens, symbolizing the sign's association with aspiration and the search for truth. The sterling silver composition and high-relief execution showcase the dynamic pose of the archer figure, making Sagittarius one of the most visually dramatic medals in the twelve-sign series.
