Open Your Door to Luck Lunar 500g Silver Coin

A hugely important tenet of Chinese Culture is none other than The Chinese Zodiac, a 12-year cycle of animal signs and their attributes which are based principally on the Lunar Calendar. The origins of The Chinese Zodiac are said to date back to the Qin Dynasty, with animal worship occupying significant importance in Qin Shi Huang’s rule as emperor of China. Legend has it that the Emperor summoned 12 animals to his palace in order for them to take part in a “Great Race”, with their position in the race determining their position in the Zodiac. 
Whilst the tradition holds over 2000 years of history, it remains a popular custom in the present day and is an integral part of everyday life in China. The Chinese Zodiac animals include the: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. Each of these animals is showcased in superb detail on the obverse of this release, with its legal tender status represented by the inclusion of the coat of arms of Gibraltar. 

A highly unique feature of this edition is the inclusion of the Lucky Charm with a beautiful red enamel finish – this is composed of 2 removable small-door inserts! 

Finished in Stunning Antique Silver, this Incredible Release is extremely rare and limited to only 388 coins worldwide. 

Your Legal Tender Coin will be housed in a Premium Presentation Box and shall be accompanied by a Unique Certificate of Authenticity to officialise your release.
