Platinum Investment Coin Year of the Rabbit Year of the Rabbit Lunar 1 Oz 2023

Lunar Series III Investment Coins (2020-2031)

Australian Lunar Series III gold investment coins and silver investment coins, issued by the Perth Mint, are dedicated to the 12-year cycle of the Chinese lunar calendar starting in 2020 (Year of the Mouse) and ending in 2031 (Year of the Pig). These investment coins have become some of the most popular collectible coins minted in the world in recent times. The first Lunar Series was originally introduced in 1996 in gold, but in 1999 the Mint began minting them in silver as well. Now we bring you an extraordinary platinum coin.

As these are investment coins, they can of course be purchased at the price of platinum on world markets, but excluding those investment coins that are minted in limited editions. Apart from their immense popularity and worldwide liquidity, this is one of the reasons why these coins are so sought after and why many investors become avid collectors.

The Lunar series of gold coins are minted in 0.9999 (24-karat) purity of the purest gold and the silver coins are minted in 0.999 fine silver, while the platinum coins are minted in 0.999 fine platinum. Each coin of the Lunar Series is housed individually in a protective acrylic capsule.

The main reason for the popularity of these coins is their exceptional quality. Many coin collectors claim that the Perth Mint is unmatched when it comes to producing commemorative coins.

The reverse side of the coin always depicts the animal motif of that year of the Chinese lunar calendar. The animal motifs in different productions are always slightly different on silver and gold coins.

The Lunar Series investment coins are so beautifully struck that some investors mistakenly think that these coins are struck in Proof quality. The raised designs on the coin are meticulously polished, and the contrast is complemented by the matte to satin finish all around. This effect can best be seen on the obverse of the coin, which always shows a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.

The mintage for the 10 Oz, 2 Oz 1/2 Oz, 1/4 Oz, 1/10 Oz and 1/20 Oz gold coins is unlimited, with only the 1 Oz coins being minted in a limited mintage of 30,000 pieces.Silver coins weighing 1 Kg, 5 Oz and 2 Oz, 1/2 Oz are unlimited, but only 150-1000 pieces for 10 Kg and 300,000 pieces for 1 Oz.

The Lunar Series investment coins are a well-known and respected investment worldwide, both from the perspective of investors and collectors, due to their huge demand and liquidity.
