At The Silver Mountain, you can find a wide variety of silver coins, including the popular Lunar series. Each year, a different animal from the Chinese zodiac is featured on these coins. The sequence of animals in the zodiac is based on the legendary Chinese race, which included twelve animals: the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig.
 
According to legend, each animal influences the personality of those born in its year. For instance, people born in the year of the snake are considered wise and strategic, while those born in the year of the monkey are seen as curious and inventive.

The silver Lunar coins from The Perth Mint are among the most renowned series worldwide. This twelve-year cycle is now in its third edition, known as the Lunar III series, which began in 2020 with the year of the rat.
 
The silver Lunar III series features coins in various sizes, each with a unique yearly design based on the Chinese zodiac. The reverse side of the coin showcases an image of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Jody Clark.
 
In addition to silver Lunar coins, The Perth Mint also issues gold versions, which are based on the same zodiac theme but often have a different artistic interpretation.

Silver Lunar coins are available in different weights, such as 1 troy ounce, 1/2 troy ounce, and 1/4 troy ounce. Although they share the same yearly theme, the design varies depending on the featured zodiac animal.
 
Moreover, The Perth Mint offers proof-quality versions of the silver Lunar coins. These coins are minted with the highest precision and are highly sought after by collectors for their superior quality and finish.
