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

Coin Details

Description

This sterling silver medal from the Franklin Mint's Signs of the Zodiac series depicts Scorpio, the Scorpion. Scorpio governs those born between October 23 and November 21 and is associated with intensity, determination, and transformative power. In Greek mythology, the scorpion was sent by Gaia to slay the hunter Orion after he boasted he would kill every animal on earth; both were placed in the sky as opposing constellations, with Orion setting as Scorpio rises. The Franklin Mint's rendering captures the scorpion's distinctive form — curving tail with stinger raised, articulated body segments, and grasping pincers — in high-relief sterling silver. The Scorpio medal is among the more dramatically composed pieces in the Zodiac series, as the scorpion's form lends itself naturally to medallic sculpture.
