Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2020 Australian 5 Dollar Elizabeth II (4th Portrait - Year of the Rat - Gold Bullion Coin) is that it has a unique design feature. The coin's reverse side features a representation of the Chinese zodiac symbol for the Rat, which is the year of the rat in the Chinese lunar calendar. This design element was included to commemorate the Year of the Rat in the Chinese calendar, which coincided with the coin's release in 2020.
