2008 1 oz Lunar Series II - Year of the Mouse Gold Coin
The Lunar Series is one of the most famous collections from the Australian Perth Mint. It comprises silver and gold coins of varied sizes and finishes, specially themed with the Chinese Lunar Calendar.
According to the calendar, each year is headed by an Astrological Sign that imprints its unique features to those born in those years and to the year’s luck.
2008 is the Year of the Mouse, so the reverse side of the Australian Lunar Series II coins features a kind depiction of a mouse.
