According to Chinese tradition, the emperor ordered a great race between all the
animals on Earth to determine who should occupy 12 positions in the lunar
calendar. Each animal represents a year in the 12-year cycle of the lunar calendar,
influencing the attributes and fortunes of individuals born in that year.
The coin’s reverse portrays a coloured depiction of the twelve baby animals in the
lunar calendar, including the mouse, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat,
monkey, rooster, dog and pig. Each adorable animal appears against a grey farmlike
scene background. The imagery surrounds a bagua, a motif incorporating
eight Taoist trigrams representing the yin and yang, said to be present in all
things. It also includes a taijitu, representing the unity and interdependence of
opposing forces.
The Jody Clark effigy of His Majesty King Charles III appears on the obverse with
the coin’s weight, fineness, monetary denomination and 2025 year-date.
No more than 388 of the Twelve Baby Lunar Animals 2025 5oz Silver Proof
Coloured Coin will be released.
