The Year of the Ox - Lunar Ounce 1 Oz - 2021
On the obverse side of the 2021 Rwandan Silver Lunar Ox Coins, you will find a depiction of the ox. The Year of the Ox may be fifth in the Rwandan Lunar Ounce Series, but it is second in the 12-year cycle of the Zodiac. The ox is a powerful beast that served as a vehicle of sorts to get the mouse to the meeting with the Jade Emperor first. With all the world’s animals racing to meet the Jade Emperor, the mouse found a raging river in its path. As the ox approached, the mouse hopped a ride with ox as it waded across the river and eventually jumped off just before arriving at the meeting. As such, the mouse comes first and is followed by the ox each year.
The reverse field of 2021 1 oz Rwandan Silver Lunar Ox Coins includes an image of the Rwandan coat of arms. The national seal of the Republic of Rwanda comes with inscriptions in Kinyarwanda with a design at the center showcasing a traditional clay pot and branches of sorghum and coffee.
Contains 1 oz of .999 Silver.
