The Perth Mint Lunar Series Program debuted in 1999 with the release of the Lunar Series I, a few years already into the 12 year Chinese Zodiac cycle. To synchronize with the Chinese calendar, the Perth Mint extended the series until 2010, overlapping with the Lunar Series II. The second series started in 2008 with the Year of the Mouse coin, the first animal in the cycle. Following the great success of the first two series, Perth Mint moves into the Lunar Series III. This is led by the release of the “Year of the Mouse” coins and continues with the Year of the Ox coins. The coins in this series were first minted in gold and silver. Now, you can add platinum coins to your collection as well. The Lunar coins are released each year, making this a highly collectible coin program. Will you get them all?
