| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by artist Jori van der Linde, presents a richly detailed zodiac-themed composition dedicated to the sign of Libra (September 23 – October 22). An outer ring of engraved Roman numerals I through XII evokes the face of a classic clock dial, framing an inner ring set with 20 Swarovski® crystals. At the centre, a vibrant, colorized image combines the constellation and symbolic glyph of Libra in an artistic, celestial design. The overall composition merges horological and astrological iconography with fine craftsmanship and applied color. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Royal Canadian Mint's bullion and collector series tied to Western astrological signs, this issue belongs to a run that the RCM has aggressively expanded since the 2010s as the secondary market for themed silver fractionals grew. The Libra piece targets the September–October birth window. Not a circulation issue by any measure — the $5 face value is nominal, set well below melt at time of issue.
