The 2020 1oz Gold UK Lunar bullion coin features the Year of the Rat design from The Royal Mint's Shēngxiào collection. Struck from one troy ounce of 999.9 fine gold, it forms part of the Royal Mint's modern British interpretation of the Chinese zodiac. This Rat issue is the start of a new twelve-year zodiac cycle within the Royal Mint lunar series, making it useful for collectors building a complete gold date and animal set as well as investors who prefer annually changing Royal Mint bullion designs.
