Australia's Lunar Series II wrapped up with the 2020 Rat issue, closing a twelve-year cycle that began in 2008. The rat holds a specific place in the Chinese zodiac as the first sign — its position earned, according to the traditional myth, by riding across a river on the ox's back and leaping ahead at the finish. Perth produced this coin in multiple sizes and metals simultaneously, with the 1/20 oz gold being the smallest and most accessible entry point in the gold tier of the series.
