Design of the Lunar coin

As the Lunar coin is a legal tender in Australia, the obverse depicts Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. The image was designed by Jody Clark. The reverse of the Lunar coin is entirely devoted to the ox. That is why a beautiful image of an ox and her calf can be seen. In addition to this, the Chinese character for “ox” is featured.

Lunar series

The Lunar series is issued by the Perth Mint. This edition belongs to already the third Lunar series. Each series lasts 12 years. This is because there are 12 animals in the zodiac calendar. This Lunar series will therefore have its last edition in 2031. The first Lunar series launched in 1996 and ended in 2010. The second Lunar series ended in 2019. Globally, the coins are very popular and wanted by both investors and collectors.
