In 2020 we celebrate the Year of the Rat, the first sign of the twelve-year Chinese Lunar Cycle.
This special two-coin set features both the clever Rat and the lunar calendar wheel, to celebrate both the Year of the Rat and the start of a new twelve-year lunar calendar cycle.
Chinese New year is an internationally recognized celebration that includes a tradition of exchanging coins as gifts for good fortune.
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 - people born under this sign are talented, self-aware and very persuasive. The sign of the Rat is associated with the attributes of sensitivity and self-awareness.
