Lunar gold coins - of the Lunar II series
The second series of Lunar Gold coins were issued in response to the success of the Perth Mint Lunar Series 1 gold coins. The intricate designs, high purity, and exceptional craftsmanship ensured that these limited-edition gold coins were always in demand. None of the Perth Mint Lunar 2 gold coins feature the same design elements as the Perth Mint Lunar 1 coins. Each of the depicted animals appears on the reverse of the coin in a new design. In addition, the respective year is represented by an engraving (e.g. the year of the horse).
The Lunar 2 Gold series began with the rat gold coin (2008) and ended with the pig gold coin in 2019. This collection, which is based on twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac, is incredibly popular, not least because of its great variety. That’s why it’s an affordable option for any buyer. Each coin in the Lunar 2 Gold series is made of .9999 gold and includes the sizes 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 oz and 1/20 oz as well as the special editions 2 oz, 10 oz, 1 kg and 10 kg. Also available are the .999 silver silver coins of the Lunar 2 series in the sizes 1/2 ounce, 1 ounce, 2 ounce, 2 ounce, 5 ounce, 10 ounce, 1 kg and 10 kg. The Lunar 2 coins are legal tender and are backed by the Australian government.
The history of the second series of Lunar gold coins
Of all the coins produced by Australia’s Perth Mint, the Lunar Series 2 is all-gold popular with collectors and investors alike for its uniqueness, quality, and limited mintage. The Perth Mint Lunar 2 is issued in 9999 fine gold or 999 fine silver and is recognised as legal tender and backed by the Australian Government.
The Lunar 2 should not be confused with the Lunar series, which has been manufactured in China since 1981. The Australian gold coins were first issued by the Australian Perth Mint in 1996. They have attracted a great deal of interest from collectors and investors. Since 1996, they have become one of the best-selling bullion coins. Both the Gold Lunar 1 Series and the Lunar 2 Gold are full of tradition and symbolism, representing over 2600 years of Chinese history. The ancient Chinese believed that each animal in their astrological calendar has a profound influence on the personality of those born under its rule. This belief has been successfully symbolized in the Lunar 1 and Lunar 2 series.
