More info on The Year of the Rabbit:

The Lunar New Year, also known as the Chinese New Year, takes place on January 22 this year. Festivities don’t last only one night, however. Celebrations can range from 7 to 16 days. The first 7 are a public holiday.

Hopping into the year 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit. The previous Year of the Rabbit was in 2011, and the next will be 2035. Rabbits are known for their kindness and are often seen as soft and weak because of it, when in reality their quiet nature hides their confidence and strength. They are socializers and have good reasoning skills with an attention to detail.

The year 2023 coincides with the element water, so those born this year have a fortune told of having financial hardships during their youth but are able to turn unfortunate events around. During elderly years, money must be spent to preserve longevity. If this fortune sounds familiar, the last water rabbit year was in 1963.

Men born to the Year of the Rabbit, according to the Chinese zodiac, are polite and avoid conflict, however they will have a hard line they will not cross. They are organized and helpful, a great friend but don’t often like to open up and get too close to the people around them.

Women born in the rabbit year are social butterflies. They’re thoughtful and polite and very conscious of their public image.

The story of the Chinese zodiacs is an interesting one. Similar to the classic fable in western culture of the Tortoise and the Hare, the Chinese rabbit was very proud of his speed and ridiculed his neighbor the Ox. When the Jade Emperor declared that the zodiac order would be decided by the order in which the animals arrived at his party, the rabbit left as soon as possible. Sure that he would arrive first, he took a nap on the side of the road. When he woke up, three animals had arrived before him, including the Ox.

The Lunar New Year is a large celebration and holiday, which invites many exciting commemorative coins and tokens to be made by mints around the world.
