YEAR of the RAT - Coin Earrings - Replica - Old China Cash Coin -中国硬币耳环 - Chinese Zodiac Earrings - Chinese New Years Gift - sle57

COIN EARRINGS - YEAR OF THE RAT

These coin earrings are hand-made from a brass replica of an old Chinese “cash” coin used in China and East Asia, from the 4th century BC until the 20th century AD, characterized by their round outer shape and a square center hole (方穿, fāng chuān).

Apart from their attractive shape, these coins conjure up human transactions over the centuries, the exchange of spices, silk and tea…they call to the past… to the time of Shanghai Lily in the 1930’s….

An antiqued bronze RAT charm celebrates the YEAR OF THE RAT. This would make a wonderful gift for anyone celebrating their birthday in this Lunar Year or for that matter anyone with a birthday in 1912, 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008 or 2020!!!

Though people consider the rat not adorable, and it even makes its way into derogatory languages, it ranks first on the Chinese zodiac signs. It has characteristics of an animal with spirit, wit, alertness, delicacy, flexibility and vitality.

People born in the Year of the Rat are instinctive, acute and alert in nature which makes them to be brilliant businessmen. They can always react properly before the worst circumstances take place. They are also sophisticated and popular in social interaction. They are sanguine and very adaptable, being popular with others.
