The Chinese Lunar Year of the Rat

Sometimes called "Year of the Mouse", the last one was in 1996, and ran from 19th February 1996 to 6th February 1997. We show a 1996 one ounce gold bullion coin from the Perth Mint in Australia. Perth Mint call it a mouse rather than a rat. The next rat year will start on 7th February 2008 and run until 25th January 2009.
