| Reverse description | The reverse showcases the Scorpio zodiac sign at center, incorporating a sky-blue Swarovski crystal element aligned with the Scorpio symbol (♏), which represents the sign's traditional color. The twelve zodiac symbols are arranged in a circular band around the periphery, rendered in fine engraving against a polished field. Colorful enamel or crystal application highlights the featured sign, creating a vivid contrast with the brilliant proof-finish silver surface. The design integrates both decorative and symbolic elements characteristic of the Royal Canadian Mint's collector series. |

| Additional information |
The Zodiac series was introduced by the Royal Canadian Mint as a direct response to strong Asian-market demand for astrological themed bullion, particularly from collectors in China, Hong Kong, and the broader Pacific Rim where zodiac gifting has deep cultural currency. Scorpio, covering late October through late November, was among the twelve designs released simultaneously in 2017 rather than staggered — an unusual production decision that flooded the secondary market early and compressed premiums almost immediately.
