Leo – the king of the zodiac signs, born between July 23 and August 22. The new issue in the silver coins series "Zodiac" pays tribute to precisely this majestic personality with a monument unlike any other. With a mintage of just 250 pieces worldwide, this is an extraordinary collector's coin that will immediately make every numismatist's heart beat faster.

A design like a painting – strength, fire, and glittering stars

Even a first glance at the obverse reveals why this coin is so special: A mighty lion strides confidently across a sea of flames, while above it a dark night sky sparkles with countless stars. The golden mane, the flames at its feet, and the delicate contours are partially gilded, creating a beautiful contrast with the deep silver shine of the surfaces polished to Proof quality. The surrounding inscription "Leo – Strength & Fire · The stars point the way, but destiny lies in your hands" gives the issue a poetic, almost philosophical touch.

Twelve signs. Four elements. One universe. – The leitmotif of the series reminds us that each zodiac coin is part of a greater whole.

The reverse – a cosmic composition in fine silver

The reverse is a small work of art in its own right. Four image fields depict the elements water, fire, earth, and air – interwoven, meticulously detailed, and artfully complemented by a central, gilded medallion depicting the sun and moon as a mythical double face. Surrounding the design are all twelve zodiac signs as symbols, along with the face value ("20 Dollars"), the issuing country ("Republic of Liberia"), and the fineness notation "9999 Fine Silver 2026".

Why this issue is so highly sought after

1. The very low mintage of only 250 pieces makes this strike a rare treasure in the collector's world.
2. The combination of partial gilding, mirror-like shine, and matte relief showcases the highest quality of the Proof finish.

4. Silver as a coinage metal boasts a thousands-year-old tradition and is treasured by collectors around the world.

Tax notice for collectors

Profits from the sale of physical silver coins are generally tax-free in Germany after a minimum holding period of one year – a welcome advantage that many collectors appreciate. In addition, the precious metal silver offers a solid foundation for any collection thanks to its intrinsic value, high liquidity, and industrial demand in electronics, solar technology, and medicine. Silver has also long enjoyed an excellent reputation as an inflation hedge and as a building block for crisis protection.
