2020 is the Year of the Golden Rat, which occurs only once in the 60-year sexagenary cycle. The rat is ranked as the first Chinese zodiac animal. According to a Chinese myth, it was the rat which bit a hole in the chaotic sky and brought about the universe. As the symbol of a new start and a bright prospect, the rat is believed to bring one bliss, peace and abundance. To celebrate this lucky Year of the Rat, the famous Royal Mint has proudly issued the “Hong Kong Year of the Rat Gold Proof Medals” in limited worldwide edition! Sequels to the first yellow gold lunar medal series of the HKSAR, these medals sparkle with the supreme nobleness and splendour of pure yellow gold! They make the best collectibles for you to keep or to give away.
