2015 50c Tetra-Decagon Uncirculated Carded Coin - Year of the Goat

Description

The Chinese Lunar Calendar is a twelve-year cycle. Each year is represented by a different animal with its own distinct personality. People born within each lunar year are believed to possess the qualities of that year's animal, using those traits to achieve success and happiness throughout life.

On 19 February 2015, the Chinese Lunar Calendar will be welcoming the Year of the Goat. People born under this sign are the most creative souls, and are known to be gentle, charming, sensitive, curious and intelligent.

Coins are a traditional gift at Chinese New Year celebrations, and are beloved keepsakes for many people throughout the world.
