Those born under the sign of the Chinese lunar mouse in 2020, 2008, 1996, 1984, 1972 and every 12th preceding year, are said to be smart, resourceful, adaptable and kind. Possessing a rich imagination and strong intuition, mice rely on quick wits and an enterprising nature to find opportunities for success in almost all endeavours.

The design includes the inscription YEAR OF THE MOUSE, the 2020 year-date and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ Mintmark. The coin’s obverse features the Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and the monetary denomination.
