Gold Twentieth-Ounce 2020 Year of the Rat, Coin from Australia - detailed information
| ||||||
The Australian twentieth-ounce gold piece (abbreviated as 1/20 oz and designated with Au for "gold") is a bullion coin format. Uniquely, in Australia there are two mints authorised to strike legal tender: the Royal Australian Mint (which also makes the country's circulating coinage) and the Perth Mint which only makes collector and bullion coins, as well as other bullion products. Both mints endeavour to create coins with attractive designs, and to introduce new designs and themes often, in order to raise the numismatic value of the coins over the value of previous metal used. Some of these are dedicated to the Chinese Lunar Calendar, in which every year is dedicated to one of the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac. Issued by the Royal Australian Mint and exclusively distributed by PAMP, this twentieth-ounce gold investment coin with a face value of $5 is part of an investment series which commemorates 2020 as the Year of the Rat (25 January 2020 - 11 February 2021) in Chinese culture. Rich in traditional symbolism, the coin’s reverse-side design depicts two rats upon branches of an oak, a tree associated with the Year of the Rat. The series was announced on 26 November 2019. The coins were issued in Brilliant Uncirculated grade, packaged in individual capsules. | ||||||
