No more than 10,000 each of silver and gold-plated silver One Dollar coins, with designs based on the twelve signs of the zodiac, have been issued by the Government of Cook Islands and produced in proof quality by Australia's Perth Mint. Each coin features a freshly interpreted and dramatically depicted zodiac sign (Aquarius, Gemini, Virgo, etc.) with a recessed area in the center housing the appropriate Zodiac Stones (emerald for Cancer, topaz for Sagittarius, ruby for Capricorn, etc.). The gemstones are free to move in their encapsulated space. These zodiac-birthstone coins are pure silver or gold-plated silver. Each coin comes in a brightly colored gift card listing the dates and gemstones corresponding to each zodiac sign. For an additional $10 the coin will come in a matching bezel so it can be worn as an attractive pendant.
