In 2021 the Royal Australian Mint honours the dependable, determined and tolerant Ox with these lunar series coins. According to legend the Chinese Jade Emperor invited the Lunar animals to race, to determine

their position in the lunar zodiac. The Ox, being patient and powerful, was likely to win however, the clever Rat hitched a lift with the Ox, then jumped down to claim first place.

The humility and patience of the Ox is reflected in this lunar series. Each coin is meticulously crafted and will be a stunning gift for 2021.

The Seven Sisters

One of the brightest and most well-known star clusters is the Pleiades in the constellation Taurus. ‘In cultural traditions around the world and in Indigenous Australia, these stars are known as the Seven Sisters. In Yamaji traditions of Western

Australia’s Murchison region, these stars are called Nyarluwarri in the Wajarri language. The Yamaji people use this constellation to predict emu egg harvesting and to inform seasonal rainfall by observing how bright or faded the

star cluster is at certain times of the year - a practice shared by Indigenous Quechua people of South America.

The dynamic and beautiful artwork of Wajarri-Noongar artist Christine ‘Jugarnu’ Collard is now captured in the design of this stunning 2020 $1 Silver Uncirculated Coin. Order your coin today.

Emu in the Sky

from gold launched a rush towards Federation.
