The Chinese lunar calendar follows a twelve year cycle and
each year is associated with an animal. The twelve animals of the Chinese lunar calendar
are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, monkey, rooster, dog and pig.
Chinese astrology attributes character traits to each animal, and people are said to share
the traits of the animals associated with the year in which they are born.

coin with a 24K gold overlay, celebrates the Chinese Lunar Year of the
