Background of Gold Lunar Series Coins
These coins debuted in 1996 with the Year of the Rat. This began Perth Mint’s Lunar Series I which ran from 1996 to 2007. This series debuted with just a 1 oz coin along with three fractional-ounce weights. However, these coins are now annually issued in 7 various weights – 10 oz, 2 oz, 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 oz, and 1/20 oz.
As of 2020, the Perth Mint has undergone three different variations of this series.
- Lunar Series I (1996-2007)
- Lunar Series II (2008-2019)
- Lunar Series III (2020-2031)
Coins are struck in .9999 pure gold and have face values denominated in Australian Dollars. Proof coins in the series are also regularly issued, however, with more limited size options such as 1 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz.

Designs in the Perth Mint Gold Lunar Series
Perth Mint Gold Lunar Series Coins showcase the reigning British monarch on the obverse. Since the inception of the coin program Queen Elizabeth II has been displayed on the obverse. Even with the Queen’s passing in 2022, her effigy has still been used for 2023 and 2024.
The reverse of these coins features the lunar animal based on the year of the issue. Notably, designs are unique to the metal type. 2024 coins, for example, show a unique design for both the silver and gold issues.
Lunar Series III saw the debut of platinum coins in the series. These platinum coins display the same design as their gold counterparts.
