Gold Quarter Ounce 2021 Year of the Buffalo, Coin from France - detailed information
| ||||||
Like many other mints, Monnaie de Paris (the Paris Mint) issues coins in precious metals, having much higher intrinsic value than their face value. The quarter ounce (1/4 oz) gold coins are denominated as 50€ (Fifty Euro), and as such are only legal tender in France and not in the whole Eurozone - only the regular circulating coins from 1 Euro Cent to 2 Euro are legal tender in all member countries, while all other denominations are legal tender in the issuing country only. Some of these coins are issued around the theme of the Chinese Lunar Calendar - a zodiac with a twelve-year cycle in which every year is associated with one of twelve different animals. This coin is dedicated to the Chinese 2021 Year of the Ox (11 February 2021 to 31 January 2022) - which was translated as "Year of the Buffalo" by the Paris Mint in this instance. In Chinese astrology, the sign of the buffalo is characterised by endurance, seriousness and reliability. It is a being who is capable of reaching his goals without changing course or determination. | ||||||
