| Obverse description | The obverse presents a central field dominated by the Taurus zodiac symbol rendered in large characters, surrounded by a circular legend naming all twelve signs of the zodiac in German along with their respective symbols. The legend REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH and the denomination 20 EURO appear within the inscribed ring. At the outer periphery, an inlaid amber stone of smooth, rounded form encircles the design, its warm yellow hue providing a striking contrast to the struck silver field. The overall composition is geometric and tightly organized, with the zodiac ring serving as both a decorative and informational border element. |

| Additional information |
Austria's ongoing "Heavenly Signs" series pairs each zodiac issue with a naturally sourced gemstone set into the coin itself — the amber used here is Baltic in origin, the same fossil resin traded across northern Europe since the Bronze Age. The amber inclusion makes these pieces genuinely fragile by coin standards; storage and handling practices matter more than with any standard silver issue.
