Rwanda's "Year of the Rat" issues are part of a broader lunar series produced for the international bullion collector market — a revenue strategy adopted by several smaller African nations whose mints contract production to established European facilities. Rwanda itself has no particular cultural connection to the Chinese zodiac calendar; the series exists purely as a licensing arrangement.
2020 marked the Year of the Geng Zi Rat, the first year of a new 60-year sexagenary cycle.
