Description
Calendar of Ancient Symbolism - The Year of the Rabbit
The Chinese lunar calendar was first introduced by Emperor Huan Ti in 2637 BC; a cycle of twelve years, each named after a different animal. Legends abound how the zodiacs were chosen. Somebelieve Lord Buddha summoned the animals and rewarded his loyal subjects by naming a year after them - the Year of the Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. The character of each animal is believed to influence the events, political and economic conditions of its year, even the personality and temperament of individuals born during its cycle.
The Year of the Rabbit also ruled 1903, 1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987 and1999. However, people born in January or February should consult the Chinese lunar calendar. New Year does not automatically fall on January 1st. This celebration is better known as the Spring Festival and coincides with the first day of spring - a date that shifts from year to year depending upon the lunar cycle and solar year.
This coin is the second issue of the Chinese 15-karat, 150-dollar (proof).
