These magnificent gold coins celebrate the Year of the Ox, the second of twelve animals associated with the ancient Chinese lunar calendar.

Those born under the sign of the Chinese lunar ox in 2021, 2009, 1997, 1985, 1973 and every 12th preceding year, are said to be kind, intelligent, honest and reliable. Admired for their strong work ethic, logical mindset and calm demeanour, they are recognised as great leaders.
