The 2017 1 oz Rwandan Silver Lunar Rooster Coin is the first release in a new 12-year program for the Republic of Rwanda. The Year of the Rooster launches the series, and will be followed by the Year of the Dog, Pig, Mouse, and Ox through the first five years. The program will conclude in 2028 with the Year of the Monkey release.
Mintage figures for the 2017 1 oz Rwandan Silver Lunar Rooster Coin have not been set for this BU product. Instead, minting will take place to meet demand only from December 1, 2016 through December 31, 2017. Other releases in the Rwandan Lunar Collection include a 1 oz gold BU coin and a 1 oz silver proof coin.
On the obverse of the 2017 1 oz Rwandan Silver Lunar Rooster Coin you’ll find the stunning Year of the Rooster design. This coins design has a beautiful cracked-glass themed that has a splintered background and a tiled appearance to the image of the rooster itself. Engravings include the name of the series, the Chinese symbol for rooster, and the coin’s year of issue, weight, metal content, and purity.
The reverse of all 2017 1 oz Rwandan Silver Lunar Rooster Coins has the coat of arms for the Republic of Rwanda. Included are the engravings of the Central Bank of Rwanda and the coin’s face value in Rwandan Francs, with engravings in the local tongue.
I really like this coin. What do you think will it increase in value as well as Perth Mint's lunar series?
