In 2023 we celebrate the fourth of the twelve-year cycle in the Lunar Calendar, with the Year of the Rabbit. People who are born under this sign are said to have characteristics of optimism, graciousness and generosity.

This tetra-decagon shaped coin will make an ideal addition to a collection or an auspicious traditional gift for Chinese New Year. Sheng Xiao, the Chinese Zodiac, has a twelve-year cycle, with each year represented by one of twelve animals.

Each animal has its own unique characteristics that are shared by people born under their sign. 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit, the fourth sign in the Zodiac. People born under the sign of the Rabbit are positive, gentle and elegant.

The Chinese calendar also rotates through the elements of earth, fire water, metal and wood as part of a larger 60-year cycle. In 2023 we honour the Water Rabbit, and people born under this sign are easy-going and agreeable.
