1996 1 oz Year of the Mouse Gold Coin - Lunar Series

Introducing the Lunar Series, a stunning silver and gold coin collection produced by the Australian Perth Mint, especially themed with the Chinese Lunar Calendar.

According to the calendar, each year is headed by an Astrological Sign that imprints its unique features on those born in those years and on the year’s luck.

The Rat (or Mouse) is the first animal in the 12-year cycle, symbolizing intelligence, resourcefulness, and adaptability. People born in the Year of the Rat are considered clever, ambitious, and charming, often able to seize opportunities and navigate challenges successfully. The Rat also represents wealth, vitality, and fertility, setting a dynamic and energetic tone for the years that follow.

Today, you can acquire the debuting coin of the Lunar Series, the 1996 1 oz Year of the Mouse Gold Coin at SD Bullion.
