The Lunar calendar
The Lunar moon calendar is most probably the oldest chronological calendar known to man. It is based on the appearance of the new moon and each year is centered around a different animal. According to Chinese tradition, every animal can be associated with a certain type of personality. The Lunar cycle lasts for a total of 12 years before beginning again with the animal is started with. We are currently in the second Lunar series. The Lunar Series I was completed in 2007. Despite the fact that these Lunar coins are actually minted by the Australian Perth Mint, they are and continue to be extremely popular all over the world and especially in China where they are avidly collected.
