| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Canadian artist Jori van der Linde, presents a richly detailed zodiac composition dedicated to the sign of Aries (March 21–April 20). An outer ring of Roman numerals arranged in the manner of a clock face frames an inner ring set with sparkling Swarovski® crystals. At the centre, the Aries constellation pattern and its traditional astrological symbol are rendered in colour against a deep celestial field. The designer's initials JV appear within the design. |

| Additional information |
Part of the RCM's long-running zodiac bullion series, this piece exists primarily as a collectible product rather than circulating currency — the Royal Canadian Mint has operated its numismatic division as a revenue-generating commercial enterprise since the 1970s, with themed silver issues forming a substantial portion of that business. The .9999 fineness is a deliberate marketing distinction from the more common .999 standard used by many competing mints.
