One of the most renowned series from the Perth Mint, Australia, this 2017 release from the Lunar Series II, features the Rooster – celebrating the Lunar Year of the Rooster according to the Chinese calendar. Additionally, this one ounce silver coin also features the Lion privy mark on its reverse.

The Perth Mint produces privy coins with an extremely limited mintage, which have historically sold out not long after their release.
