Luxury set of 12 silver coins 1 Oz Lunar Series II. 2008 - 2019

Lunar Series II. 2008 - 2019 Luxury Set 12-Year Collection

The Lunar Series of investment coins offers high appreciation in future years, which can be seen currently on the Lunar Series I and some of the current Lunar Series II coins. Normally, in the current year of mintage, the price of limited edition coins does not significantly exceed the price of regular investment coins, but after a while, when the coin is on sale and the interest of investors and collectors grows, the price starts to increase. This is why it often happens that these coins are literally sold out in a flash. Of course, the sold-out coins are then sold on the market at a big premium. This makes their price rise much faster than other investment coins.
Lunar Series investment coins are a well-known and respected investment worldwide, both from the point of view of investors and collectors, because of their huge demand and liquidity.

The Lunar Series silver investment coins from the Perth Mint of Australia are some of the most popular and sought after coins in the world.

The 12-year-collection began minting in the Lunar Year of the Mouse 2008 and concludes in the Year of the Pig in 2019. All coins are legal tender of Australia. The obverse side of the coin traditionally depicts Queen Elizabeth II and its reverse side is dedicated to the depiction of an animal of a particular lunar year according to the Chinese calendar.

Each coin is struck from the purest 999 fine silver weighing 1 ounce (31.1 g) and housed in a plastic capsule.

The Chinese calendar, sometimes called the Chinese lunar calendar (derived from the movement of the moon), is one of the oldest known dating systems. The first mention of the Chinese calendar dates from 2637 BC and it is still in use in Asia today, especially in China, Taiwan, Japan, Vietnam and Korea. It includes elements of both the lunar and solar calendars. The Gregorian calendar is used for most daily activities in these countries today, while the Chinese calendar is used to determine important holidays such as the Chinese New Year.

The Chinese zodiac consists of twelve animals in the following order: rat (or mouse), ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep (or goat), monkey, rooster, dog, and pig (or boar).
