Year of the Rooster
Since 2014, the Royal Mint have issued lunar coins, each year honouring a different Chinese lunar animal. The Year of the Rooster is the fourth animal in the Royal Mint's Shēngxiào Collection, and the tenth animal in the lunar cycle. Those born during the Year of the Rooster are said to be observant, confident, hardworking and honest.
These coins are supplied to us in tubes of 25. If ordered in multiples of 25, we will send them in the tube at no extra cost. The coins have a mintage figure of 138,888. In Chinese culture the number 8 is thought to be lucky. The uncirculated coin is sold as a bullion investment product.
The 2017 Royal Mint Year of the Rooster 1oz Coin is also available in gold.
Obverse
The obverse of the coin features the Jody Clark fifth coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. His initials are set under the truncated neck. With a face value of £2, the coin bears the inscription:
ELIZABETH II·D·G·REG·F·D·TWO POUNDS
The field on the obverse has dimpled effect, giving it a matte finish. We first saw this on the 2015 silver bullion Britannia.
Denticles also feature on the obverse only. The last time we saw these on a British lunar coins was in 2014, when a batch of the lunar horses and the Britannias were struck using the wrong obverse dies. These are known as mule coins and are quite rare.
Reverse
Like the previous coins in the series, the reverse is designed by the British Chinese artist, Wuon-Gean Ho. The coin shows a rooster, surrounded by ten Marsh Daisies (sea-thrift), representing the tenth animal in the lunar cycle. The number ten is also thought to symbolise perfection in Chinese culture.
The reverse bears the Chinese Year of the Rooster symbol and the legend:
YEAR OF THE ROOSTER·2017 with 1 OZ FINE SILVER 999
