This select $5 silver domed coin celebrates the 2020 Year of the Rat in the
Chinese lunar calendar. Featuring a magnificent obverse design of the
twelve-year lunar calendar wheel, this coin would make an ideal gift to
wish Fu (Happiness), Lu (Wealth) and Shou (Longevity) to all in the Year
of the Rat.
The Rat is the first sign of the twelve-year lunar calendar: this reflects the
traditional story of how the Jade Emperor had the twelve animals of the
zodiac race across a river to decide what order they would go in. Clever
Rat hitched a ride on the strong Ox and managed to come first. People
born under the sign of the Rat are also considered to be clever,
quick-witted and resourceful.
The year 2020 falls under the sign of the metal Rat. People born under
this sign are talented, self-aware and persuasive, with the gift of a silver
tongue. This silver domed coin is the ideal gift for anyone born under the
sign of the Rat. It is also traditional to exchange gifts of coins during the
internationally recognised Chinese New Year celebration.
