Canada 2010 Lunar Lotus Year of the Tiger $15 Coin
The Chinese Lunar Calendar was first introduced by Emperor Huan Ti in 2637 BC, a cycle of 12 years, each named after a different animal. Legends abound about how the animals were chosen. Some believe the Lord Buddha summoned the animals to bid him farewell when he departed the earth and he rewarded his loyal subjects by naming a year after each one. The character of each animal is believed to influence the events, political and economic conditions of its year, even the personality and temperament of individuals born during its cycle. The year 2010 is ruled by the Tiger, a majestic animal. The Tiger personality is equally impressive: powerful and daring. Expect a lot of activity when the dynamic Tiger is in your midst. The Tiger is restless and reckless, always ready
		for action. His zest for life is contagious. The Tiger is incredibly funny, impulsive and sometimes quick-tempered. He may not be the mosto bjective leader, but his fiery passion and fearlessness ultimately capture people's admiration and respect. The coin is 92.5% silver and 7.2% copper with a weight of 26.29 grams and a diameter of 38 mm. Three Degrees Creative Group Inc. has created a design that captures the true essence of the animal's character. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
