In Chinese lunar tradition, the Year of the Ox commences on 12 February 2021. People born under the influence of the ox, which previously ruled during 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997 and 2009, are said to be kind, intelligent, hardworking, honest and reliable.

Four-Piece Design

The four coin designs in this set depict: an ox ploughing a field with mountains in the background. A pair of oxen and a dragonfly in front of a tree. An adult ox standing on grass with a dragonfly and a calf laying on the grass. Together they form a single composition comprising an appealing mix of superbly coloured and struck elements. 

Each coin’s reverse includes The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark. The obverse of each coin bears the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, its weight and purity, monetary denomination and the 2021 year-date. 

Presentation Packaging

A unique gift or keepsake for anyone born under the sign of the lunar ox, the set is housed in a classic display case with a clear lid, decorated with a silver geometric design, and a beautifully illustrated shipper. Each set in the limited mintage is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
