Comment

Years of the Rabbit: 2011, 1999, 1987, 1975, 1963, 1951, 1939, 1927, 1915 and 1903

The Rabbit rules 2011
In the West, the New Year is governed by the civil calendar and always falls on January 1st. The Chinese New Year, on the other hand, obeys the lunar calendar instituted by Emperor Huang Ti in 2637 B.C. to precisely locate the first day of spring, which is essential for agriculture. That's why it's also known as the Spring Festival.

The Festival is celebrated around 45 days after the winter solstice, on the first new moon following the harbingers of spring, midway between the winter solstice (December 21 or 22) and the spring equinox (March 20 or 21). The date thus calculated varies from year to year, and is February 3, 2011 for the Year of the Rabbit. Automatically translated

Années du Lapin : 2011, 1999, 1987, 1975, 1963, 1951, 1939, 1927, 1915 et 1903

Le Lapin règne sur 2011
En Occident, le Nouvel An est régi par le calendrier civil et tombe toujours le 1er janvier. Le Nouvel An chinois, lui, obéit au calendrier lunaire que l’empereur Huang Ti a institué en 2637 av. J.?C. afin de situer avec précision le premier jour du printemps, une donnée essentielle à l’agriculture. Voilà pourquoi on l’appelle aussi le Festival du printemps.

Le Festival est célébré environ 45 jours après le solstice d’hiver, à la première nouvelle lune suivant les signes avant-coureurs du printemps, à mi-chemin entre le solstice d’hiver (21 ou 22 décembre) et l’équinoxe de printemps (20 ou 21 mars). La date ainsi calculée varie d’une année à l’autre et se trouve être le 3 février 2011 pour l’année du Lapin.

Interesting fact

This unique design element adds an extra layer of interest and collectibility to the coin, making it stand out from other coins in the series.
