The Year of the Rat coin marks the fourth in the new third series of Chinese Almanac Coins. The image of the rat is integrated with ancient Chinese seal characters in a design that combines tradition with modernity. The design is inspired by Chinese calligraphy, with the animal portrayed by the appropriate Chinese character of the "Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches". This enhances the characteristics of the animal and the oriental cultural flavour.

The coins come in eight versions - 0.3g, 1/4oz, 1oz, 5oz 999.9 fine gold, 2oz 999 fine silver piedfort, 20g and 5oz 999 fine silver, and cupro-nickel proof-like.

What I have to offer is the 2008 Lunar Series Coin Set, with (1) $100 denomination 999.9 fine gold proof coin, (2) $10 denomination 999 fine silver coin and (3) $2 denomination cupro-nickel coin. It is labelled number 99 of a very limited mintage run of 500 sets only. It was issued in Jan 2008 by the Monetary Authority of Singapore and was manufactured by the Singapore Mint. The coins come in an attractive octagonal rosewood box, with certificate of authenticity. The coins themselves are encased in a sealed clear plastic container, in itself proof of authenticity and that you are getting what you pay for! Since I bought it, it has been stored in its original packaging and is in mint condition. It comes with a complimentary nickel commemorative coin with MAS directors' authorised signatures behind.
