A unicorn represents the power and strength to oppose evil, and maintains universal balance. It is a symbol of sunlight, purity, and turning to unity, toward the centre. The spiral is a reminder of all that remains unchanged from time immemorial. In addition, the unicorn is a symbol of freedom and knowledge, it guides the way for those who seek the truth.
Traditions describe the unicorn as a mythical animal, embodying the supreme force of existence. It is shrouded in mystery and embodies the eternal unity, the beginning and the ultimate goal of human existence, the unity of opposing things, the ability to overcome internal contradictions, and universal love and compassion.
The unicorn in heraldry is a symbol of caution and prudence, common sense and austerity. Placed on a knight’s coat of arms, the unicorn conveys that courage will defeat any foe, just as a magic horn defeats poison.
A coin with a magical unicorn is sure to fulfil the wishes of its owner!
