Canadian artist Aries Cheung has created a stylized representation of an ox heading straight for the Chinese character to its left. Its hooves kick up dust, which is transformed into auspicious clouds whose curls echo the engravings on the animal's flank. A truly lucky piece for the sign's natives.

Comment
Celebrate your favorite Ox native with a gift he'll cherish all his life: a splendid 18-carat gold coin honoring his Chinese sign. The expression "strong as an ox" refers not only to the animal's physical strength, but also to its inner strength. No obstacle can hold back the Ox native. Although other signs of the zodiac also use intelligence and cunning to achieve their goals, the Ox stands out for his perseverance and unfailing dedication. His patience is also legendary, but if confronted with injustice, the gentle and discreet Ox will not hesitate to take the bull by the horns to restore order. Always fair, he forges bonds that will be honored forever.Did you know?
The Year of the Ox takes place every 12 years (1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009 and now 2021). However, the date of the Chinese New Year varies from year to year, as it corresponds to the Spring Festival. 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 Ox, which begins on February 12, 2021, will end on January 30, 2022.
Canadian celebrities born under this sign include Oscar Peterson, Jim Carrey, Marc Garneau, Michael J. Fox, Eric Lindros, Roch Carrier, Frank Mahovlich, Neve Campbell and Paul Coffey.
Ox natives are strong, resilient people who generally enjoy a long life without too many health problems.
They thrive in careers that require a good work ethic and determination, in fields such as mechanics, pharmacy, drafting, politics, real estate, carpentry, engineering, agriculture and manufacturing.
These hard-working, pragmatic people get along particularly well with Snake and Rooster natives. On the other hand, they're suspicious of Monkey natives and their shenanigans, and can't stand the sensitivity of people born under the sign of the Sheep.
All Chinese zodiac signs are alternately associated with one of the five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal and water. The Ox natives of 2021, a year associated with metal, will have a strong will and nerves of steel. They will be reserved, but will know how to express themselves with eloquence and aplomb when needed.

The piece is presented in an attractive oriental-inspired case.
