Australian Silver Lunar Coins

Now shipping, the 2007 Australian Lunar Silver Pig

The Australian Lunar Silver Bullion Coin Series is struck by The Perth Mint from 99.9% pure silver. In 2007, the series comprises eight coins - seven traditional sizes plus an enormous 10 Kilo coin.

As in previous years, the 1 Kilo, 1/2 Kilo, l0oz, 5oz and 2oz coin mintages are unlimited. However, the 10 Kilo coin and the two smaller coins each have a limited mintage, giving them significant collector appeal and the potential for numismatic appreciation over time.

The Perth Mint will release no more than 1,000 pieces of the Year of the Pig 10 Kilo silver bullion coins. In addition, no more than 300,000 1oz and 500,000 1/2oz Year of the Pig silver bullion coins will be released.

History of the Australian Lunar Series

The ancient Chinese Lunar Calendar, which dates back to 2,600 BC, is steeped in tradition and symbolism. Based on the appearance of the new moon, it associates a different animal with each year in a twelve-year lunar cycle. The Chinese believe each animal has a profound influence on the personality of those born under its rule.

In 1999, following the success of the gold lunar series which started in 1996, the Perth Mint decided to also issue a series of silver coins commemorating the Chinese Lunar Year. The Lunar coins come in seven popular sizes, 1/2 oz, 1 oz, 2 oz, 5 oz, 10 oz, 1.2 kilo and 1 kilo (32.5 oz. - the worlds largest silver bullion coin).

The Australian Lunar series is the most popular silver coin from Australia. Following the Chinese Lunar Zodiac, a total of 12 coins will be in this series. Starting in 1999, the series will run through 2010. We carry the complete line, from half an ounce up to the massive 1 kilogram coins. We also offer discounts for bulk orders.
