Those born in this year are referred to as the “Ox on the Road” - strong and trustworthy beings who are blessed with a comfortable life following their working years. Not unlike the bull in Western references, the Chinese ox also carries positive and prosperous connotations. This is further amplified on the collectible with the ox depicted in a striking gold tone. Auspicious motifs are outlined through its body, and its hooves move with agility as it charges ahead boldly, a strand of silver coins in its mouth that bear the Chinese word for good fortune, “福”. True to the portrayal of an ox on the road, a terrain-like texture is applied on the foreground to complete this piece and bring it to life. The year of 辛丑 is marked in calligraphic strokes atop a red accent to mirror the Chinese wax stamp finishing on traditional art.
The 2 oz pure silver coin is delivered in antiqued silver finishing, with details struck in ultra-high relief and accented with red and gold to highlight the strong ox and the year of 辛丑. The obverse features the legal tender, the Coat of Arms du Tchad.
