Australian LunarSilver Coins Program(First Series lunar silver coins from Australia)Information and Facts about Australia LUNAR SILVER COINS. Chinese New Year, Year of the animal silver bullion coin series.Official mintages for the Lunar Series 1 coins have been released by the Perth Mint.... and many of them have very low mintages!
The Australian Lunar Silver Bullion Series 1 coins began in 1999 with the Year of the Rabbit silver coins. Each year, for 12 years, the Australia government mint (at Perth Australia) produced these silver commemorative coins with designs celebrating the Chinese Calendar. This is called the First series of Lunar silver coins. (A new Series #2 began in 2009). The designs and coin production was scheduled for these twelve years: (Click on the above year links to see details and prices.)
The 1st Series silver lunar coins were minted in several sizes: half, one, two, ten ounce and kilo. Beginning in the year 2004 a five ounce size was added. In 2008 the Perth mint ceased production of all the sizes except for the one and two ounce silver coins.
In 2008 the Australia Perth Mint began a new series of lunar silver coins. The second series will run for 12 years, from 2008 to 2019. Because the first series did not end until 2010 and the second series started in 2008, there are three years where two styles of lunar silver coins were minted: 2008 mouse, 2009 ox, and 2010 tiger. The series I coins have different designed than the series II coins.
Now available The Official coin production mintages for the Lunar Series 1 silver coins.
Production numbers have been released by the Australia Perth Mint.... and many of them are low mintages!

The Perth mint (Australia government mint) has this to say about these beautiful silver coins -
"The Chinese Lunar Calendar - captured on bullion coins."
"Don’t miss this opportunity to invest in pure silver, and collect a coin series which illustrates a special calendar, steeped in tradition and symbolism. The Perth Mint’s extremely popular silver Lunar coins depict the Chinese Lunar Calendar, offering 12 fascinating designs corresponding to each sign in the calendar’s 12-year cycle."
"Over time, the entire series of 12 distinct silver designs will be available, completing a unique and precious Australian Lunar Bullion Coin Collection."
"In addition to their precious metal investment potential, these legal tender coins are ideal as distinctive gifts for friends, family or business partners during Chinese New Year, to celebrate the birth of someone born in a particular Lunar Calendar year, or to create a piece of jewelry. The coin’s annual design changes and limited mintages also provide extra potential for numismatic appreciation over time."
"All coins in this series are struck from 99.9% pure silver, in bullion quality, with a highly polished design on a frosted background. The coins are legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965 and bear an effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the monetary denomination on the obverse."
In 1996 Australia began producing the Lunar gold series.
