Britain's Royal Mint, which has been making coins for everyday use in the United Kingdom for 1,100 years, launches a range of specially-struck coins to mark the start of the Chinese lunar calendar's Year of the Rooster on January 23, 2017.The coins, in gold and silver, with face values ranging from 10 pounds ($12.3) to 1,000 pounds, have been designed by Wuon-Gean Ho, a British-Chinese artist working in London.The range is part of the Royal Mint's Shengxiao Collection, which celebrates the cycle of the Chinese lunar calendar. The first design in the zodiac was struck in 2014, the Year of the Horse, and that was followed by coins commemorating the years of the sheep and the monkey.(Photo/sipaphoto)
