The 2008 Perth Mint's internationally renowned Australian Lunar Silver Coin Series II celebrated the Year of the Mouse, the first animal in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac.
These superb quality releases are perfect for people born in "mouse" years; 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008; who are regarded as ambitious, intelligent, meticulous and sociable.
The reverse of each coin depicts two mice on a bed of straw. There are two pumpkins in the background and the mice are both looking off to the right of the coin. The Chinese character for "mouse"; and the inscription "Year of the Mouse" also appear in the design along with The Perth Mint's traditional "P" mintmark, the year and weight. As well as appealing to silver coin collectors, these outstanding releases also make great gifts for people born in any year "ruled" by the Chinese lunar mouse.
With a worldwide mintage of only 300000 they are sure to be an early favourite.
ABOUT THE PERTH MINT
The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint's 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
