The Perth Mint 1oz Gold Lunar Coin forms part of the internationally recognised Australian Lunar Series, celebrating the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac. Struck from one troy ounce of 99.99% pure gold, each annual release features an original design honouring that year's zodiac animal. The reverse displays the current Lunar Series artwork alongside The Perth Mint's "P" mintmark, while the obverse features the reigning monarch and Australian legal tender denomination. Since the first Lunar bullion coin was released in 1995, The Perth Mint's Lunar Series has become recognised worldwide for its detailed artistry, annual design changes and exceptional minting quality.
