EMBALLAGE

Your fine silver Lunar Year of the Goat coin is encapsulated and presented in a black Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a red outer box that evokes the Chinese New Year custom of gifting “lucky money” in a red envelope.

INSPIRÉ PAR L'ART POPULAIRE

The stylized depiction of the Goat on your coin’s reverse features a folk-art style that lends itself beautifully to our celebration of the Goat, the peaceful Chinese zodiac sign known for its creativity (and kindness).

A LUCKY RED BOX

Chaque pièce est présentée dans boîtier de présentation rouge qui évoque la coutume du Nouvel An chinois consistant à offrir de « l'argent porte-bonheur » dans une enveloppe rouge.

LE SAVIEZ-VOUS ?

In the Chinese zodiac’s 12-year cycle, every year pairs an animal sign with one of five elements—and 2027 marks the return of the lively Fire element. People born in the Year of the Goat are known for their calm, compassionate and creative nature; add Fire, and the Goat becomes a more energetic and expressive version of its gentle self.

The reverse design by Canadian artist Jai Paek celebrates the Year of the Goat (“羊”) through its folk-art styled depiction of the Chinese zodiac animal, gracefully stepping into the new year to represent forward movement. Fire, the ruling element in 2027, is represented by the Goat’s fiery mane and hooves, as well as the flame-like markings on its body, where the flowing curls evoke an intuitive emotional energy. The dot motifs form a subtle nod to the lucky numbers of 3 and 5. Surrounding the Goat, the auspicious chrysanthemum symbolizes longevity and balance, while the peony—placed near the head to connect with mental clarity and prosperity—represents wealth and a noble spirit. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.

À PROPOS DE LA MONNAIE ROYALE CANADIENNE

La Monnaie royale canadienne est connue pour être l'une des monnaies les plus réputées au monde. La succursale d'Ottawa de la Monnaie royale a ouvert ses portes en 1908 et a été rebaptisée Monnaie royale canadienne en 1931 lorsque le contrôle a été transféré au gouvernement canadien. Ses normes élevées d'excellence et de qualité lui ont permis d'être la première raffinerie à fabriquer des pièces d'investissement en or d'une pureté de 9999 en 1982, ainsi que la première à atteindre une pureté d'or de 99999 en 1998.
