Celebrate the Chinese zodiac Year of the Rat with this commemorative birth certificate.
Those born in the Year of the Rat are said to be wise, intelligent and determined.
You can't use commemorative birth certificates as proof of identity.
The certificate combines Chinese design elements with the Victorian countryside. A family of rats dances with joy in the Grampian mountains. The newcomers to their family nestle in a cowboy hat, connecting the design to the birth theme.
Kordelya Zhan Sui Chi, an Archibald Prize finalist, designed the Chinese zodiac certificates. Her designs combine Chinese design elements with iconic Australian flora.
Years of birth: 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020
