In 1996, Australia launched the Lunar Calendar Series of limited mintage gold bullion coins. The series will portray the different animals symbolizing the 12-year Lunar cycle as observed in China and Southeast Asia. With the recent release of the year 2006 Year of the Dog coins, the series is now up to 11 different gold issues.
These coins are struck in .9999 pure gold to the exacting standards of the Perth Mint, and each coin is individually encapsulated at the mint to protect its delicate pure gold surface. The high quality of this issue, and its popularity around the world, have made it a favorite with bullion buyers and collectors alike.
The 1-ounce gold coins are struck in quantities limited to 30,000 pieces each year, and many are sold individually to commemorate special years, or are put in jewelry, which further limits the number of pristine complete sets available. Earlier years, especially the highly-favored Dragon of year 2000, are dwindling in supply.
Each of these coins is shipped in the original airtite from the mint. This is your chance to get all 10 coins without the hassle of buying on each of these individually. This series which started in 1996 with the lunar rat has quickly become Australians best selling coin series.
The Perth Mint offers an exciting array of bullion coin options for investors seeking to add precious metals to their investment portfolio. Among the Mint's most popular gold and silver bullion coins are those from the Australian Lunar Series, with designs based on the ancient Chinese Lunar Calendar.
These magnificent coins represent more than investment opportunities alone. They also make ideal gifts for friends or family, a Chinese New Year gift for business associates, or a Lunar birthday present.
Beautiful designs and limited mintages mean these bullion coins are also sought by collectors a numismatic appreciation over time. All coins in this series are issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.
