Comment

Strength in adversity

"Strong as an ox" is an expression full of meaning. Four little words that speak volumes about the personality that embodies this Chinese horoscope sign.

It's not just physical strength, but also a strength of character that enables the Ox to always move forward, whatever the burdens or difficulties of the road. What other signs achieve through cunning and guile, the Ox obtains through tenacity and self-sacrifice.

Don't be fooled by the Ox's calm, introverted airs. Calm waters are the deepest. The Ox is the product of a skilful blend of intelligence and confidence. He's not easily intimidated, and he'll stand up and speak eloquently to restore order. He is the Good Samaritan who comes to the aid of the oppressed and disappears before anyone can recognize him.

The ox is fair and a good listener, but remember that, like his neighbor the mule, he can be quite stubborn! You can always count on him, but don't expect him to change his mind! The ox is the sign you can trust. He'll never let you down.

Special features :
- LAST issue of our popular twelve-coin lunar series in sterling silver with cameo introduced in 1998!

La force dans l’adversité

« Fort comme un bœuf » est une expression pleine de sens. Quatre petits mots qui en disent long sur la personnalité qui incarne ce signe de l’horoscope chinois.

Ce n’est pas seulement la force physique mais également une force de caractère qui permet au bœuf de toujours avancer, quelle que soit le fardeau ou les difficultés de la route. Ce que les autres signes obtiennent par l’astuce et la ruse, le bœuf l’obtient à force de ténacité et d’abnégation.

Ne soyez pas dupes des airs calmes et introvertis du bœuf. Les eaux calmes sont les plus profondes. Le bœuf est le produit d’un savant mélange d’intelligence et de confiance. On ne l’intimide pas facilement et il se lèvera et prendra la parole avec éloquence pour restaurer l’ordre. C’est le bon Samaritain qui vient secourir l’opprimé et disparaît avant que personne n’ait pu le reconnaître.

Le bœuf est juste et il sait écouter, mais souvenez-vous qu’à l’instar de sa voisine la mule, il peut être bien têtu! Vous pouvez toujours compter sur lui, mais ne vous attendez pas à ce qu’il change d’avis! Le bœuf est le signe dans lequel vous pouvez avoir confiance. Il ne vous laissera jamais tomber.

Caractéristiques particulières :
- DERNIÈRE émission de notre populaire série lunaire de douze pièces en argent sterling avec camée introduite en 1998!
- Le camée plaqué or de forme octogonale donne à cette pièce inhabituelle un aspect remarquable.
- Il s’agit de la seule pièce 2009 qui portera l’ancienne effigie de Sa Majesté la reine Elizabeth II (1990-2003)
