Our Lunar collection

Each Australian lunar series of collector coins is based on the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac. 

Established in 1996, The Perth Mint was the first mint to release an Australian lunar coin program. Due to its success, it is now in its third series.

Crafted in intricate detail, each gold, silver or platinum coin explores the ancient tradition and mythical folklore of the Chinese Great Race.
