The second release in the "In the Stars"-series combines the zodiac sign Taurus and the gemstone amber to help you to be at peace, both with yourself and with others.

For the Babylonians of the second millennium BC, Taurus was the sign that marked the beginning of spring and a symbol of fertility, growth and renewal. In modern astrology, Taurus runs from April 21 to May 20 and is ruled by the planet Venus.

Taurus is an earth sign and, in physical astrology, is associated with the throat and neck. Those born under Taurus are considered reliable, to strive for security and patiently pursue their goals, while enjoying the pleasures of life. Taureans seem to live by the motto: work hard, play hard.

Amber is fossilized tree resin that has been refined by natural processes over millions of years. In ancient times, the Amber Road was an important trade route that was used to transport the extremely valuable amber from the North and Baltic Seas to the Mediterranean. ‘Golden fire’, as the Romans called it, is used in spiritual practices to alleviate stress.

The obverse features a ring naming all 12 signs of the zodiac and their symbols. The symbol for Taurus adorns the centre in large letters. At the edge of the circle shines yellow amber, which exudes a sense of calm and has a smooth, round shape. The mighty head of a bull, framed by a circle that dissolves into stars towards the edge of the coin, dominates the coin’s reverse.

Comes in a case complete with a numbered certificate of authenticity and protective slipcase.
