{{/presale}}The Royal Mint of Englands Shengxiao Series celebrates the release of another coin with the 2020 British Lunar Year of the Rat 1 oz Silver Coin. The rat marks the first year of the 12-year Zodiac cycle, but these are the seventh release in this particular lunar series. In the old tale, the mouse or rat was the first animal to meet the Jade Emperor in the Great Race. He used his trickery to deceive the ox to finish before all of the other animals in the race. Right now, you can purchase these brand-new coins in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Each of the coins in this listing come inside individual plastic capsules or sealed rolls of 20. The coins will all be in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The designs on the reverse were created by PJ Lynch.
Obverse
The obverse side of each coin features the image of Queen Elizabeth II. In this image, she is shown in right-profile relief. Created in July of 2015 by Jody Clark, this is the fifth generation of images for British coinage of Queen Elizabeth II. In the image, she is 89 and wearing the Royal Diadem crown.
Reverse
The reverse face of each 2020 British Lunar Year of the Rat 1 oz Silver Coin bears the image of a rat foraging among the foliage. The rat, although looking for a morsel of food, has stopped and lifted its snout in the air. Rats are curious by nature, and this rat is looking for any impending danger. On this side of the coin, you will also see inscriptions including the Chinese symbol for rat.
History
Introduced in 2014, the Shengxiao Series from the Royal Mint of England has become incredibly popular with both collectors and investors. Unlike some of the other lunar-themed series, the Shengxiao Series comes in only 1 oz silver and 1 oz gold bullion coin with a variety of other weights in the proof series.
