| Additional information |
Tanzania's lunar series entries are struck under contract by European mints and issued primarily for the collector export market — they see no domestic circulation and hold no particular significance within Tanzania's monetary history. The 2020 rat date aligns with the Chinese lunisolar calendar year beginning January 25th, a market squarely aimed at East Asian collector demand rather than East African.
