I created this series now and there are coins pending to move here. But I got the name wrong. The name in English is “Disney Chinese Calender” (Note, it is “Calender”, not “Calendar”, and according to https://www.oed.com/search/dictionary/?scope=Entries&q=calender it is correct.)
Add and modify this
- Nama (EN): Disney Chinese Calender
- Name (local): Disney Chinese Calender

----------------------------
Series dedicated to the year 2020, Year of the Rat in the Chinese zodiac. The Chinese zodiac is a traditional classification scheme based on the Chinese calendar that assigns an animal and its reputed attributes to each year in a repeating twelve-year cycle. Chinese folkway held that one's personality is related to the attributes of their zodiac animal. The twelve zodiac signs are: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig.
The series consists of four silver coins, coloured, issued by the New Zealand Mint in 2020. The obverses depict the bust of Queen Elizabeth II, and the reverses depict scenes with Disney characters. Each coin is encapsulated and presented in a box.
