Description

The launch of The Perth Mint’s highly anticipated Australian Lunar Series III is marked by the release of stunning 1/10oz gold proof quality coins portraying the first animal in the zodiac, the Mouse.

Those born under the sign of the Chinese lunar mouse in 2020, 2008, 1996, 1984, 1972 and every 12th preceding year are said to be smart, resourceful, adaptable and kind. Possessing a rich imagination and strong intuition, mice rely on quick wits and an enterprising nature to find opportunity for success in almost all endeavours.

Meticulously struck from 99.99% pure gold in proof quality, no more than 3,500 1/10oz coins will be released in this packaging.

Each coin’s reverse portrays a mouse among stalks of wheat. Also included in the design is the Chinese character for ‘mouse’,

Each coin is presented in a prestigious red display case with a magnetic lid. Adorned with gold lettering and a geometric design, the case is packaged in a beautifully illustrated shipper portraying the story of how the mouse became the first animal in the zodiac, and is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

The shippers of future animals in Lunar Series III will, when arrayed together, form a diorama depicting the ancient myth of The Great Race, which tells how the zodiac came into being.
