Royal Australian Mint has released a new Lunar coin for 2020, celebrating the Lunar Year of the Rat. There is a limited mintage of 50,000 only, and each coin comes in an individual capsule.
The rat is the first sign of the twelve-year lunar calendar, and 2020 brings the year of the metal rat. People born under this sign are known for being talented, persuasive and self-aware. The traditional story of the zodiac race also describes the Rat's clever, and quick-witted nature. When the Jade Emperor had the twelve animals of the zodiac race across the river to decide which order they would go in, the rat hitched a ride on the strong Ox, and managed to come in first.
