YEAR OF THE MOUSE – AUSTRALIAN LUNAR SERIES III – 2020 1 oz Platinum Bullion Coin – Perth Mint
YEAR OF THE MOUSE – AUSTRALIAN LUNAR SERIES III – 2020 1 oz Platinum Bullion Coin – Perth Mint
Our first lunar platinum bullion coin celebrates the Year of the Mouse, the first of twelve animals associated with the ancient Chinese lunar calendar. Those born under the sign of the Chinese lunar mouse in 2020, 2008, 1996, 1984, 1972 and every 12th preceding year, are said to be smart, resourceful, adaptable and kind. Possessing a rich imagination and strong intuition, mice rely on quick wits and an enterprising nature to find opportunities for success in almost all endeavours.
The Perth Mint will produce no more than 5,000 1oz coins. Production will cease when the mintage is fully sold or at the end of the series, whichever comes first.
Meticulously struck from 99.95% pure platinum, the coin is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.
DESIGN
Each coin’s reverse portrays two mice foraging on husks of corn. Also included in the design is the Chinese character for ‘mouse’, the inscription ‘MOUSE 2020’ and The Perth Mint ‘P’ mintmark. The obverse of each coin depicts the Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the weight and fineness, and the monetary denomination.
AUTHENTICATION FEATURE
The reverse of all coins except the 10 kilo includes a security feature in the form of a micro-laser engraved letter within the design. It is only detectable under a magnifying glass.
PRESENTATION
Each bullion coin is presented in protective acrylic capsules.
