2020 $1 ANDA Perth Year of The Rat PNC

The clever Rat is the first of the 12 animal signs in the Chinese zodiac. According to the traditional story, the order of the calendar was determined by the Jade Emperor's race. This race included a river crossing, and while the cunning Rat could not swim, he managed to traverse the river on the back of the Ox, who was an efficient swimmer. Just before the Ox reached the opposite bank, the Rat leapt off to take first place.
