Buy the 2020 Lunar Year of the Rat Silver Coin.
The latest release in The Royal Mintโs Sheฬngxiaฬo Collection is the 2020 Lunar Year of the Rat. Combining centuries of Chinese tradition with British minting craftsmanship, the collection rejoices the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac, or Sheฬngxiaฬo, and their character and qualities.
The ancient legend has it, long ago there was a Great Race between the animals. The order they finished in would decide the sequence of the Chinese zodiac. The finish lay beyond a river however the rat had a fine plan, the rat was able to hitch a ride on the Oxโs back beforeย jumpingย off toย sneak ahead and win, which is why as the cycle starts anew in 2020, itโs the Ratโs turn in the ascendancy.
People born under this sign are said to be intelligent, adaptable and optimistic.
