 Complete 12-Coin "Chinese Lunar Year" Set
Somalia’s 2000 copper-nickel set includes all 12 animal signs -- just $9.95
"Chinese Lunar Year" coins have been perennially popular, especially those created by the China Mint. Here's the most affordable set by far that we've seen, and the coins are all official releases of the China Mint. Each features a different animal sign in the famous 12-year lunar calendar cycle: the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. The Chinese lunar calendar is the longest chronological record in history, introduced by the Emperor Huang Ti in 2637 B.C. Chinese folklore holds that the animal governing the year you were born exercises an influence on your life. This Brilliant Uncirculated set makes a great gift.
