2020 1 oz Silver Lunar Year of The Mouse / Rat BU Australian Perth Mint In Cap

 

This recently released 2020 1 oz Silver Lunar Year of The Mouse Coin is the first issue in the Lunar Series III from the Perth Mint. The previous Lunar I series, released by the Perth Mint in 1999, immediately gained massive popularity within a short time. Riding the popularity wave of the Lunar Series I, the Perth Mint began issuing the Lunar II series in 2008, with the "Year of the Mouse". This means the two series actually overlapped between 2008 and 2010. The Lunar Series III is beginning this year with the release of the Mouse coin. The high metal purity and detailed Zodiac designs make the Lunar program very popular among coin collectors, making it a celebrated series. Every year the Australian Perth Mint issues a brand new Lunar coin showcasing the Chinese Zodiac animal for that year.

The 2020 Chinese Zodiac animal is the Mouse. People who were born during this animal’s year are thought to be brave, enterprising, and critical thinkers. These traits usually make someone a great business person or entrepreneur. Stubbornness and selectiveness are known to crop up from time to time in those born in the Year of the Mouse, but their friends and family always appreciate their friendliness and positive energy.

The obverse of this Zodiac coin displays the Jody Clark depiction of Queen Elizabeth II. Inscriptions surrounding the obverse include the weight, purity, and denomination of the coin.

The reverse of the coin features two playful mice walking on ears of corn growing out of stalks. Inscriptions appear around the mice.
