The Rwandan Lunar Ounce silver coins were introduced in 2017 with the Year of the Rooster. All of the coins in the collection have a common reverse design, but each release comes with its own obverse inspired by the animal matching the date on the coin. The Year of the Ox, for example, arrives in 2021 and is the second animal in the 12-year cycle of the Zodiac.
An ox is shown standing in left-profile relief on the obverse of 2021 1 oz Proof Rwandan Silver Lunar Ox Coins. The ox is shown with large, sharp horns and a powerful, muscular frame. The Year of the Ox design shares one design characteristic with other issues in the series. The “stained glass” element on the ox uses alternating visual finishes to create a unique appeal for the series.
The ox, known in the plural as oxen, is a bovine species that has been harnessed and worked by humanity for more than 6,000 years now. The creatures are powerful, diligent workers that are easy for humans to tame and use in agricultural societies.
Rwanda’s national coat of arms is found in the reverse design of the 2021 Proof Rwandan Silver Lunar Ox. The coin shows the national seal with the traditional clay pot at the center, sorghum and coffee branches at its immediate sides, and traditional battle shields framing the entire design.
