Flowing curved lines, spiral ornaments, and geometric segments enrich the background, while the Libra glyph appears discreetly near the lower edge, completing the astrological identity.

A patterned central field and dotted border enhance the visual texture and emphasize the high-quality gilded finish.

Libra, ruled by Venus, represents diplomacy, aesthetics, and the pursuit of balance, qualities beautifully expressed in this coin’s thoughtful design. Struck in gilded silver with prooflike quality, this 2003 issue from the Zodiac Signs series is both symbolic and visually captivating. It is an excellent choice for collectors of astrology, gemstone coins, and elegant modern world issues.
