Bulls have been described in legends and traditions of different peoples since ancient times.
Among the inhabitants of Ancient Egypt, this animal was considered sacred, the image of a bull symbolized royal (royal, like a lion) power, might, male fertility — a multi-valued symbol of divinity, royalty. The same interpretation has taken root in many other cultures and countries.
According to legend, the Hebrew high priest Aaron, the brother of Moses, made a small bull out of gold and used it as a divine symbol. It was at that time that the famous expression "golden calf" appeared.
The bull served as a symbol of the solar cult. According to ancient beliefs, the Sun was born from the sacred bull – a symbol of life, light, the center of our universe.
In ancient Greek myths, Zeus himself, the king of the gods, is often depicted in the form of a bull.
The bull, as in ancient legends, pulls a chariot with the Sun, whose rays form a solar corona of twelve zodiac signs representing all the spectra of the universe.
"The sun shines on everyone" - SOL RADIAT OMNIBUS – is minted on a coin. The Sun-universe is supported by horseshoes, symbols of happiness.
The signs of the Zodiac, harmoniously intertwining like gears in a clock, move the course of Time. The clock in the center of the composition symbolizes Time.
The inscriptions on the wheels conveying the idea of moving towards the goal read: FORTUNA, PROSPERITAS - luck, success; PERSEVERANTIA, CONSTANTIA - perseverance, constancy; VIRTUS, CLARITAS - strength, glory; FIDELITAS, PECTUS - loyalty, courage; OPULENTIA, MAGNANIMITAS - wealth, generosity; SAPIENTIA, ANIMI NOBILITAS - wisdom, nobility.
The harmony of all things is reflected in the sign of the unity of opposites, which binds the traction of the chariot, the prototype of which was an ancient Chinese coin.
