When observing the night sky over the course of a year, the Babylonians identified 12 different patterns of stars through which the sun seemed to travel. Astrology describes the idea that a person's character and fate were related to the arrangement of these celestial bodies at the time of their birth. The twelve patterns we know today as the Signs of the zodiac - Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces - are arranged in a circle on the motive of this colored and rimless antique finish coin. The names of the signs of the zodiac, the constellations, their pictograms and a stylized representation of the sun complete the design.
