Details of the coin’s product image
The path of the sun
Twelve sections of a year.
Capricorn is the tenth of the twelve sections.
Seen from the Earth, the sun travels once around the sky against the stars over the course of a year, along the ecliptic.
The signs divide this path into twelve equal sections of 30 degrees each, counted from the vernal equinox point, the position of the sun at the start of spring. The constellations of the same names differ in size.
Because the Earth’s axis slowly turns like a spinning top, once in about 26,000 years, the vernal equinox point has moved by about 30 degrees since the Greek Hipparchus. Signs and constellations are therefore offset today by about one constellation.
For more than 2,500 years
In cuneiform, in books, on clocks.
- BabylonThe cuneiform series MUL.APIN, preserved in copies from the 7th century BC onwards, names 17 constellations along the ecliptic.
- PtolemyAround AD 150, Ptolemy gathered more than a thousand stars into 48 constellations in the Almagest. At its core, our system today is his.
- Très Riches HeuresIn the book of hours of the Duke of Berry, now in Chantilly, each month’s picture shows the two zodiac signs of the month at the top.
- PragueThe astronomical clock has stood on the Old Town Hall since 1410, today with calendar, zodiac and clock.

Twelve signs, four elements, one universe: this is the guiding idea behind the zodiac series – and the copper edition of Capricorn is among its most sought-after representatives. This minting comes as a strictly limited small series. Anyone looking for a collector's coin with genuine rarity will find a true rarity here.
A Design with Character – Down to the Very Last Detail
The obverse shows the Capricorn in a pose that is not easily forgotten: upright on the rock, forelegs set, head held high with powerfully curved, spiraled horns. On the left, a rugged mountain flank breaks out of the coin's field, its edges and ridges modeled with astonishing depth. On the right, a starry sky stretches across the scene, set off in matte black with finely placed stars. Below, the astrological symbol of Capricorn is displayed in its own medallion.
The reverse is divided into four quadrants, contrasting the four elements: clouds for air, flames for fire, mountains for earth, and waves for water. At the center sits a sun-moon depiction with two faces. Surrounding it are the symbols of all twelve zodiac signs, along with "ONE DOLLAR", "Republic of Liberia" and the material designation "1 OZ 999 FINE COPPER". A design that truly showcases copper – because this metal makes reliefs glow with a warm, reddish shine that silver could never achieve.
Why Copper Is So Popular Among Collectors
Copper coins and copper bars are the playground of motif collectors. The selection is vast, and the range of themes is boundless: in the USA, countless copper rounds – that is, copper medallions – have been produced for years, featuring animals, mythology, historical motifs, and fantasy designs. Those exploring coins for the first time also learn the essentials through copper – feel, weight, edge design, and the difference between matte and mirrored surfaces. Most copper buyers are classic collectors who enjoy building their own collection. The Capricorn 2026 fits perfectly into this world.
A very low mintage is the strongest lever in the collector's market: once sold out, it never returns – and becomes sought after on the secondary market.

Who Will Benefit from This Piece
Collectors who follow the zodiac series know the problem: the small mintages sell out first. Compared to the silver edition of the same design, the copper variant offers a significantly lower entry price – but its limitation is noticeably stricter. Conversely, the material value of copper naturally remains moderate; here, it's the numismatic appeal that counts, not the metal weight. So anyone wanting a collector's piece with character, clean Proof quality, and a limited quantity should seize the opportunity. Those who prefer pure investment metal will find other options in our range.
Astrologically, Capricorn represents the period from December 22 to January 20 – discipline, perseverance, and a clear focus on goals. As a gift for those born under Capricorn, this coin is therefore a hit that goes far beyond an ordinary gesture. And as a building block of a growing collection, it is a must-have regardless: a piece that only 1,000 people worldwide can own.
It is best to keep the coin in its capsule and avoid touching the surface with bare fingers – copper reacts sensitively to skin oils, and the flawless mirrored surface of the Proof quality is part of its appeal. Secure your piece while the small mintage lasts.
