Lunar Year of the Rat 2020 UK £5 Brilliant Uncirculated Coin Description

Since 2014, each coin in The Shengxiao Collection has celebrated the lunar animals of the Chinese zodiac in turn. As the cycle starts anew in 2020 with the Year of the Rat, The Royal Mint is delighted to add a new Brilliant Uncirculated coin to the range.

Traditionally, at Chinese New Year people visit friends and family and bring them small gifts. It is a unique and thoughtful way to wish someone special good luck for the year ahead. Housed in packaging that brings the stories behind these wonderful, age-old customs to life, and featuring a design that showcases the rats personality traits, its a welcome addition to this popular collection.
