2020 50c CuNi Uncirculated Tetra-Decagon Carded Coin - Lunar Year of the Rat

Description

2020 heralds the beginning of a new twelve year cycle in the Chinese Lunar Calendar with the Year of the Rat. This coin celebrates the smart, outgoing and sensitive people born under this Zodiac sign. This tetra-decagon shaped coin will make an ideal addition to a collection or an auspicious traditional gift for Chinese New Year.

The Chinese Zodiac, Sheng Xiao, has its basis in a twelve year cycle. Each year is represented by one of twelve animals each with their own unique personality traits, also held by people born in that year. 2020 is the Lunar Year of the Rat, and people born under this sign are clever, cautious, self-aware and persuasive.

The Chinese calendar also rotates through the elements of earth, fire, water, metal and wood as part of a larger 60-year cycle. Metal is this year's element, and people born in this year are reliable, stable and fortunate.
