The Design:
Designed by Canadian artist Aries Cheung, your coin features a stylized depiction of the rooster. Detailed engraving captures the essence of the animal’s character: observant and self-confident. Walking with a confident strut, the rooster is depicted in side profile to allow a glimpse of the swirls and flourishes that recreate its feathered appearance, as the sun rises up on the right side above the Chinese character for rooster.

According to the Chinese zodiac, the year 2017 is ruled by the Rooster. The Rooster loves to be the centre of attention; witty and self-assured, he or she can talk about anything! A natural performer, he or she does amazingly well in any career that puts him or her in the public eye. The Rooster is astute, organized and decisive—put him or her in charge, and your life and finances will run like clockwork! This 18-karat gold coin commemorates 2017 as the Lunar Year of the Rooster, and celebrates all who are born under its sign.

The perfect gift or keepsake for a friend or loved one born in the years 1909, 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017.
