The Perth Mint Lunar Coin Series began in 1996. Each coin celebrates a different Chinese zodiac sign meaning the cycle lasts for a total of 12 years.

These bullion coins have proven to be highly collectable, with most sizes selling out quickly.

Year of the Mouse

The lunar Year of the Mouse begins on January 25th, 2020. It is said that those born under this lunar zodiac sign are thought to be kind, smart, thoughtful and quick witted.  Other year of the mice (or rat) include 1972, 1984, 1996 and 2008.

Series III

The third series of lunar coins begins with these 2020 coins. If you would like to start collecting we suggest you buy this coin before it’s too late. We often find that the earlier coins in the series are most often the hardest to get hold of.

Most Australian coinage adopted a new obverse of Queen Elizabeth II in 2019. The lunar series did not use the new portrait and kept the fourth coinage portrait by Ian Rank Broadley instead. This was so the obverse of the coins remained uniform with previous years.

With the start of the third series, the Perth Mint have taken the opportunity to update the obverse of the coins. The 2020 coins showcase the new portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, by Jody Clark. The design shows Elizabeth from the shoulders upwards.
