In 2020 we celebrate the Year of the Rat, the first sign of the twelve-year

Chinese Lunar Cycle. These special $1 coins celebrate both the Year of the

Rat and the start of a new lunar calendar cycle. They are an ideally

auspicious gift to celebrate Chinese New Year.

Chinese New year is an internationally recognized celebration that

includes a tradition of exchanging coins as gifts for good fortune. These

2020 $1 coins are ideal gifts to acknowledge the year of the Rat, which is

the first sign of the twelve-year lunar cycle.

People born under the sign of the Rat are said to be clever and cautious,

adaptable and outgoing. 2020 falls under the sign of the metal Rat –
