Chinese Lunar Calendar Gold Coins From the Perth Mint Australia
Attractive Gold Bullion Coin Series
The Perth Mint in Australia issue a very attractive and popular series of gold bullion coins based on the Chinese Lunar Calendar. We buy, sell, and stock these subject to availability.
They are produced in all five sizes, one ounce, half ounce, quarter ounce, tenth ounce, and twentieth ounce, plus three large gold coins in 2 ounce, 10 ounce, and 1 kilo sizes.
These are popular with collectors, and also handy if you are looking for an interesting and unusual gift.
Brief History
The Chinese Lunar Calendar is based on a 12 year cycle, each year in the cycle is associated with a different animal. The Perth Mint in Australia started issuing series of Chinese Lunar Calendar coins, in gold and silver, in 1996, which was the Year of the Rat. We rarely manage to buy any of the older years, which tend to be very hard to source.

Coloured Lunar Calendar Gold Coins
In recent years, a number of world mints have added colour printing to a number of their coins. Although at first we thought this was rather gimmicky, in many cases it does make for aesthetically attractive collectors coins, which are also great gift items.
