The program quickly gained global popularity for its annually changing designs, limited mintages, and superior craftsmanship. Following the success of the first series (1996–2007), Lunar Series II was introduced in 2008, continuing the zodiac cycle with refreshed artistic interpretations and expanded size options. The series has become one of the most sought-after modern bullion collections, admired by both collectors and investors for its blend of cultural tradition and precious metal value.

The 2017 release marks the Year of the Rooster in the Chinese zodiac calendar. The reverse features a finely detailed depiction of a rooster, often accompanied by hens and chicks, symbolizing confidence, honesty, and hard work.
