Homepage / Bullion Coins: Australian Bullion / 1/2 kilo. Australian Lunar Silver
Updated on 03/07/2024
In 2004, the Perth Mint added two silver bullion coins to the Lunar Series: the 1/2kg and the 5 oz Bullion Coins.
The Australian lunar series of bullion coins often have higher premiums added to their sale price due to the polished look of the silver lunar bullion coins and the coin's yearly limited mintage.
Series I : Obverse
The obverse displays the profile of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by designer Ian Rank-Broadley.

The Chinese CalendarIn 2637 B.C., a Chinese Emperor named Huangdi invented the Chinese Calendar. The Chinese calendar is a twelve-year cycle of astronomical observations of the sun and moon phases; each year in the twelve-year cycle has an animal sign. The Chinese believe lunar animals influence those born under the year of its designation. |
