Comment

This piece celebrates the Rat, symbolizing joy and longevity. The rodent is shown jumping into the branches of the pine tree, a conifer appreciated for its robustness and long life. Together, the Rat and the pine remind us that everything is a question of balance, that we must live our lives combining maturity with youthful enthusiasm, wisdom with alertness, and stoicism with mischievous energy. This universal message is underscored by the Mint's exceptional specimen finish.

Did you know?
The rat is a central figure in many creation myths. It is said to have opened the gourd in which Heaven and Earth were imprisoned with its teeth, and to have gnawed a hole in the sky to free spirits. In some Asian cultures, temples are dedicated to the gentle, benevolent rat.
The numbers 2 and 3 bring good luck to Rat natives, as do blue, gold and green, as well as lilies and Cape violets.
Canadian celebrities born under this sign include Bobby Orr, Margaret Trudeau, David Suzuki, Elvis Stojko and Isabelle Boulay. His Royal Highness Prince Charles, Prince Harry and Winston Churchill are also Rat natives.
The date of Chinese New Year varies from year to year due to lunar cycles. People born in January or February therefore don't necessarily have the same sign as those born later in the year. For example, the Year of the Rat begins on January 25, 2020 and ends on February 11, 2021.

Packaging
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a double-shell case featuring the Royal Canadian Mint logo. The case comes with a black protective box.Automatically translated
