Interesting fact

The Year of the Rooster coin was part of a series of commemorative coins issued by the People's Republic of China in 2005 to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year. The rooster is one of the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac, and this coin was issued to mark the year of the rooster in the Chinese calendar. I hope that's helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.
