1 oz Australian Lunar Platinum
Bullion Coin - Series III

2020 - Present

The Australian Lunar bullion coins are a staple in the physical precious metals investor or collector's portfolio.

In 2020, the Perth Mint introduced its first Australian 1-oz. Lunar Platinum .9995 fine Bullion Coin, marking a significant addition to the popular Lunar bullion coin series.  

Since the platinum bullion coin's introduction, it has had robust demand. The coin's proof-like finish and limited mintage of only 5,000 coins per issue have made it a favorite among those who purchase platinum coins.
