2017 Lunar Year Of The Rooster One Ounce Silver Proof Coin
Limited issue of just 3,846! The Year of the Rooster is the zodiac animal which features on this pre-owned 2017 silver proof one ounce coin from The Royal Mint. Formally known as the Shengxiao collection, the rooster is the tenth animal in the Lunar sequence and it's a must-have for lunar coin collectors. Those born in the Year of the Rooster are considered hard workers and prideful in their appearance, with truthful, open and loyal characteristics. As with previous British lunar coins, British-Chinese artist Wuon-Gean Ho was commissioned by the UK's national mint to design the coin's reverse, which shows a rooster amongst ten sea-thrift plants. The number ten is significant in Chinese culture as it represents perfection, and the Chinese character '雞' is also seen. To complement this, Jody Clark's engraving of Queen Elizabeth II is visible on the obverse. Your 1oz coin weighs a total of 31.21 grams and measures 38.61 millimetres in diameter. It's stuck numerous times during production with hand-polished dies to give it the immensely pleasing proof finish, which is vastly superior to ordinary circulation coins. As standard, the coin is issued in the original limited edition presentation box with a numbered certificate of authenticity.
