Silver coin 1 Oz Fluffy sheep

According to ancient Eastern teachings, the year 2027 is the Year of the Goat. This unusual silver coin from CIT Coin Invest is dedicated to this shaggy creature.

When discussing the Chinese zodiac, we may come across various names for the eighth sign. Sometimes it is called a goat, at other times a sheep, whilst other sources refer to a ram. Are there perhaps different versions of the Eastern zodiac? No. In fact, it is one and the same sign, and the differences lie in the translation. The Chinese word 羊 – transcribed into our language as yáng – unlike in Czech or English, does not refer to a specific animal species, but to the entire group of bovids, which includes both goats and sheep. When the Chinese zodiac spread across the world, different translators chose different words. However, they all refer to the same sign…

This unique commemorative coin, which boasts deep relief on both sides, takes the form of a small statue in the shape of a ram with curled horns. Its fleece is adorned with ornamental flowers. The obverse side also incorporates the attributes of the coin’s issuer, which means the national emblem of Mongolia and the nominal value of 1,000 TOGROG.

The coin, with a mintage of 999 pieces, is stored in elegant packaging adorned with a thematic illustration.
