History of the Lunar Coins

Each of the coins is steeped in over 2600 years of tradition marking the astrological believes of the ancient Chinese. Even today, there is a strong belief that people born under the rule of a particular animal harbour specific personality traits and characteristics.

The Lunar II Series follows on from the success of the original Lunar Series that began in 1996 although arguably have better and more detailed designs – but this is really a matter of personal taste. The Lunar goat appeals to investors and collectors for their rarity and symbolism.
