| Additional information |
Rwanda's National Bank has issued an extended series of Chinese lunar-themed gold coins aimed squarely at the collector market, leveraging the country's flexible minting agreements to produce pieces with no meaningful circulation history or domestic monetary relevance. The Rooster year falls in the twelfth position of the twelve-year cycle, completing a full rotation that began with the Rat.
Struck to one troy ounce .999 fine gold, these issues trade almost entirely on bullion value with a modest numismatic premium.
