The Lunar Series II program from the Perth Mint is the most popular Zodiac-themed coin series in the world. Introduced in 2008, it is the second such program of silver and gold coins from the Perth Mint. The 2017 1 oz Colorized Silver Australian Rooster Coin is available to you today online at Silver.com.

Coin Highlights:

  • Ships to you in a protective plastic capsule.
  • Mintage limited to 5,000 colorized coins only!
  • Tenth Lunar Series II release.
  • Consists of One Troy ounce of .999 fine silver in BU condition.
  • Issued a face value of $1 (AUD) by the Australian government.
  • Reverse includes the all-new Year of the Rooster design.
  • Obverse features Queen Elizabeth II’s portrait.

The 2017 release of the Silver Australian Rooster coin represents the 10th release in the Lunar Series II collection from the Perth Mint. Each new release comes with a separate design from the previous year’s coin. The only repeating elements are the use of Queen Elizabeth II’s effigy on the obverse and the Chinese symbol for a given animal on the reverse.

Lunar Series II is a 12-coin release from the Perth Mint that follows the 12-year cycle of the Chinese Lunar calendar. The animals of the Zodiac appear once every 12 years, and their characteristics and personality traits are said to be passed on to the individuals born under a specific sign.

On the reverse of each 2017 1 oz Colorized Silver Australian Rooster Coin available here you’ll find the image of a rooster, accompanied by a hen and three chicks pecking around for food. Engravings read “Year of the Rooster, the Perth Mint’s “P” mint mark, and the Chinese symbol for rooster. Natural colors have been added to the primary design on this face to bring the rooster, chicken, and hens to life visually.

The obverse of the 2017 Year of the Rooster coin features the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Created in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley, this depiction remains on the obverse despite a new portrait available for commonwealth coins. The choice is designed to maintain design continuity throughout Lunar Series II.

All 2017 1 oz Colorized Silver Australian Rooster Coins in this listing are in BU condition. Silver coins in BU condition have no signs of wear and tear, however, you may notice minor flaws ranging from breaks in the luster and spotted surfaces to contact marks from the production process at the mint.

The Perth Mint is a state-owned facility of Western Australia. Though it is the nation’s oldest operating mint, founded in 1899, it is not the sovereign mint of Australia. The Currency Act of 1965, which established legal tender status for Perth Mint coins, also marked the founding of the Royal Australian Mint in Canberra as the sovereign mint of the nation.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
