2002 2 oz Silver Lunar Horse BU Australian Perth Mint (Series I)

Enhance your zodiac collection with the 2002 2 oz Silver Lunar Horse BU Australian Perth Mint (Series I). Struck from 2 troy ounces of .999 fine silver, this Brilliant Uncirculated coin is part of the original Perth Mint Lunar Series I, a landmark bullion program recognized for its annual design changes and limited mintages.

The 2002 release honors the Year of the Horse, the seventh animal in the Chinese lunar calendar. Individuals born under the Horse sign are traditionally associated with energy, independence, intelligence, and strong determination. The reverse design features a beautifully engraved horse in motion, capturing the spirit and vitality symbolic of this zodiac sign. The larger 2 oz format provides greater depth and detail, enhancing the artistry of the design.

The Perth Mint launched Lunar Series I in 1996, introducing a 12-year cycle featuring each animal of the Chinese zodiac. The program quickly gained global attention due to its limited mintages and annually refreshed designs. Concluding in 2007, Series I coins are now considered key collectible bullion issues, especially in larger sizes such as the 2 oz format, which were produced in smaller quantities than standard 1 oz coins.
