British Lunar Series

The Royal Mint’s Silver Lunar Coin Series

The Royal Mint’s Silver Lunar Coin Series is a captivating collection that celebrates the Chinese Zodiac while blending British artistry and cultural heritage. Launched in 2014, this series commemorates each of the 12 animals in the Chinese Zodiac, making it a unique fusion of Eastern tradition and Western craftsmanship. Each year, a different zodiac animal is featured, starting with the Year of the Horse in 2014, followed by the Goat, Monkey, Rooster, and more, all crafted in .999 fine silver. The series is a popular choice among both collectors and investors due to its striking designs, high silver content, and cultural significance.

Artistry and Collectibility

Designed by Chinese-British artist Wuon-Gean Ho, each Silver Lunar coin showcases an artistic portrayal of the zodiac animal for that year. The intricate designs not only highlight the beauty of the animal but also reflect its symbolic meanings, such as strength, wisdom, and prosperity. The reverse features the zodiac animal, while the obverse displays the effigy of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, adding a British touch to the series. The obverse transitioned to display His Majesty King Charles III for the 2024 release honoring the Year of the Dragon. Also available in gold, The Royal Mint’s Silver Lunar Coins are issued in limited mintages, making them highly collectible and valuable additions to any portfolio. Whether as an investment or a meaningful gift, these coins perfectly embody a blend of tradition and craftsmanship.
