The Central Bank will issue a coin set for the Geng Zi Year of the Rat, the fourth set of the third series of the Chinese Zodiac Commemorative Coin Set, on January 14, 2020. Each set consists of one silver coin weighing an ounce with a face value of NT$100, as well as one copper-alloy coin with a face value of NT$10.

The obverse of the silver coin shows the gold-plated image of a rat, and the reverse features an image of the famous Tainan Yanshui Beehive Firecrackers Festival with uniquely local characteristics. The image on the obverse of the copper-alloy coin is a rat, while the image of the drunken hibiscus on the reverse is pad printed in pink.
