2015 $150 Gold Coin Year of the Sheep

This $150 proof gold coin is a celebration of Chinese-Canadian culture, embodied by an illustration honouring the ancient Chinese zodiac. The year 2015 is ruled by the sheep, one of the 12 animals assigned to this zodiac; these animals are symbolic representations of how others perceive you or how you present yourself, although there are many complex layers involved in the actual interpretation of specific birthdays.

This coin boasts a unique and stylized illustration by Aries Cheung of a ram with one leg raised, its head turned towards the viewer majestically, and is crafted in over one-third of beautiful 18K yellow gold. The coin is also double-struck with the Royal Canadian Mint's highest-quality proof finish.

1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003 and 2015 are all year of the sheep (otherwise known as the year of the goat or year of the ram). The sheep (or ram) is a well-liked animal, as it is gentle and calm, and does not like to create a fuss. For a very long time, the sheep has represented purity and good things in Chinese culture. Like all things, these signs have dualistic natures. People born in the year of the sheep are said to be tender-hearted, polite and clever. They may have a special craving for art and beauty, and tend to long for a quiet life. Though wisdom and compassion come naturally to those born in the year of the sheep, they also carry potential for pessimism and emotional sensitivity.
