Here is something we don't often see posted here-a coin from Macedonia. I first saw one of these in a display of bimetallic coins at an ANA show and really liked the look Recently, I was able to pick one up at a fair price. It is from the Zodiac signs series and features a cobalt glass insert along with silver. Some info from the mint: On the obverse, in the central part of the coin, there are 4 Atlases holding the sky and a circle with all zodiac sign symbols. On a cobalt glass insert, there is an image of the northern sky with the North Star in the center, surrounded by Capricornus constellation. At the bottom, there is part of a drawing with the Solar System. On the background, there is part of the sky map. At the bottom of the obverse, there are the coat of arms of the Republic of Macedonia and the year of the coin issue - "2018". There are also inscriptions in the Macedonian language: "Republic of Macedonia" and "100 Denars". On the reverse, in the upper part of the coin, there is an image of the star atlas "Firmamentum Sobiescianum" created by Johannes Hevelius at the end of the 17th century, with an image of Capricornus constellation on a cobalt glass insert, and a symbol of Capricornus zodiac sign on the top of the coin. At the bottom, there is an image of an ibex (also called wild goat) on a background of a drawing presenting the Solar System. On the left hand side, there is the Latin name of the Zodiac sign - "CAPRICORNUS", and on the right hand-side there is the hallmark "Ag925". https://www.nbrm.mk/ns-newsarticle-kovana-para-za-kolekcionerski-celi-jarec-en.nspx Mintage Limit - 7000 Each coin minted from 23.3 g of 0.925 silver Decorated with a convex cobalt glass insert
