Silver Ounce 2021 Year of The Ox, Coin from Samoa - detailed information
| ||||||
The currency of Samoa is the Tālā, the name of which is a transliteration of the English words Dollar; it was introduced in 1967. On coinage sometimes the English word is inscribed, especially on commemorative and bullion coins not intended to circulate within the country. Samoa has authorised some private mints to issue coins under its jurisdiction, which come in a variety of sizes - including in the popular silver ounce (1 oz silver) format, such as this one. This silver coin decorated with Czech crystal represents the sign of the Chinese zodiac for the year 2021, which is the Ox. The Eastern Zodiac, also known as the Chinese Zodiac, contains twelve signs - twelve animals that represent twelve temperaments with both positive and negative traits. Unlike the classic horoscope used in Europe, each of these signs belongs to a whole year, and once all the animals take turns, the twelve-year cycle begins anew. The year 2021 is dedicated to the second animal of the Chinese zodiac - the ox. Why is the ox the second one? Legend tells about the Jade Emperor who ruled the heavens and sought someone to guard his palace. Twelve animals applied for the emperor's favour - the rat, ox, tiger, hare, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. Their position in the palace was to be decided by a great race. The strong ox was a favourite, but he had no idea that a smart rat had settled on his back, jumping down just before the finish line and depriving him of victory. People born in the sign of ox are considered faithful, loyal and family-oriented. They value traditions, dislike changes and prefer comfort. They live in peace and quiet, but as soon as someone infuriates them, he or she will face evil... | ||||||
