Bringing more that a millenium of minitng experiance to ancient Chinese traditions, The Royal Mint launched the first official United Kingsom Lunar coin in 2014. It is Chinese custom to celebrate the lunar calender by sharing gifts that symbolise love, luck and good fortune with family, friends and colleagues.
