Chinese New Year marks the beginning of a new year under the traditional lunisolar Chinese calendar. The festival starts on the first new moon that appears between January 21 and February 20, and goes on until the Lantern Festival 2 weeks later. It seems appropriate to list these 12 uncirculated commemorative 10 shilling coins struck in Somaliland. Each set contains a coin for each of the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac, with this year being the Year of the Snake.
