Historical overview
The Perth Mint's Series I, II, and III Lunar coins feature designs that change each year, and this was also the case with the Year of the Ox coin.
The Chinese calendar is a lunisolar calendar. It is divided into 60-year cycles, each consisting of years assigned to 12 animals, which are associated with the five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water). You can therefore consult the Chinese calendar to find out your characteristics based on your year of birth and the corresponding animal.
People born under the Chinese sign of the Lunar Ox in 2021, 2009, 1997, 1985, 1973, 1961, 1949, 1937, 1925, or 1913 are kind, intelligent, honest, and reliable. Admired for their strong work ethic, logical thinking, and calm demeanor, they are recognized as great leaders.
The Ox is the embodiment of perseverance and steadiness. People born under this sign are invaluable friends, although they often don’t make the first move. However, they can also be shy and reserved.
