A unique piece is the 1 troy ounce silver Year of the Ox rotating charm coin. The coin is from the Lunar III series and was released in 2021 by The Perth Mint. The coin features a fascinating decoration in the form of an 18-karat gold-plated sterling silver ox-shaped rotating charm.
The Lunar series depicts one of the twelve animals of the Chinese lunar calendar each year. According to this calendar, the ox bestows many positive traits upon people born during its years, which are 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, and 2021. People born during these years are considered, according to the lunar calendar, to be kind, intelligent, hardworking, calm, honest, and reliable.
In the center of the coin, you will see a gold-plated charm resembling an ox. Surrounded by artistic depictions of oxen amidst floral motifs, the bead rotates around a pin that securely holds it in the center of the coin. The antique finish of the coin enhances the design even further.
The coin has a mintage of only 3,000 pieces and comes in a presentation box with a numbered certificate of authenticity.
