Product Description
Embodying the significance of the lunar calendar over thousands of years, this impressive tribute piece is struck from 5oz of 99.99% pure silver.
The coin depicts 12 lunar animals in colour, each within a sail-shaped panel featuring representations of their natural or, in the dragon’s case, heavenly habitat. The imagery surrounds a bagua, a motif incorporating eight Taoist trigrams representing the yin and yang said to be present in all things. It also includes a taijitu, a black and white symbol that denotes the interdependence of yin and yang energy.
The coin bears The Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Obverse, featuring the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy supplemented with the dates of her reign, as well as the weight, purity, monetary denomination and 2023 year-date.
Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, the coin is housed in a display case and embossed shipper.
