China – Female Yellow Pansy Colored Butterfly Medallion – Proof – 2009 – Series II – The first set of four butterfly medallions was issued by the People’s Republic of China in 2005 and can be found on our website. This set was issued recently and would make a great gift for any collector of lepidoptera or world coins. I was not able to identify the species involved, but one of our clients, Mark Schmidt, was able to provide identification as the Female Yellow Pansy(Precis (Juniona) hierta).
Over the years I have handled many Chinese Lunar Series pieces, but these are among the nicest I have ever seen. —1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997—People born in the Year of the Ox are patient, speak little, and inspire confidence in others. They tend, however, to be eccentric, and bigoted, and they anger easily. They have fierce tempers and although they speak little, when they do they are quite eloquent. Ox people are mentally and physically alert. Generally easy-going, they can be remarkably stubborn, and they hate to fail or be opposed. They are most compatible with Snake, Rooster, and Rat people.

CHINA – YEAR OF THE ROOSTER – (2) COLORED MEDAL SET – 2005 – BOX and COA—As legend would have it, it was Buddha himself who gave each animal its place in the Asian zodiac. When he called all the animals together following the creation, only twelve felt it necessary to attend the meeting. As a reward for their effort in making the long journey, Buddha offered each of them their own year, which would from then on bear the name of that animal. In addition, each animal was also given the opportunity to directly influence history during that time – and thus, in turn, the fate of those humans born in that year. Analogous to the characteristics of the respective animal symbol, and by means of your date of birth, you too can read those characteristic traits that may – or may not – apply to you. 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005—People born in the Year of the Rooster are deep thinkers, capable, and talented. They like to be busy and are devoted beyond their capabilities and are deeply disappointed if they fail. People born in the Rooster Year are often a bit eccentric, and often have rather difficult relationship with others. They always think they are right and usually are! They frequently are loners and though they give the outward impression of being adventurous, they are timid. Rooster people’s emotions like their fortunes, swing very high to very low. They can be selfish and too outspoken, but are always interesting and can be extremely brave. They are most compatible with Ox, Snake, and Dragon. This beautiful two piece set comes in its original mint issued presentation case with a Certificate of Authenticity.
