Yesterday was the first day of the Chinese New Year and to celebrate the New Zealand Mint produced a number of limited edition one ounce legal tender silver commemorative coins.
The coins feature an engraved representation of the first animal of the Chinese zodiac in relief colour on a blue background bearing the inscription “Year of the Rat 2008”.
There was a story on the coins in the NZ Herald today - you can read it here.
And you can pick up the coins here.
Happy Year of the Rat!
