We can offer a complete type and date collection of all twelve dates and designs of 1/10 ounce gold lunar calendar coins as shown and described.
The release of the 2007 coin completes the series of 12 different symbols and designs. We guess that starting from 2008, the Perth Mint will start a new 12 year series, but with new design versions, particularly as this first series has proved to be so popular.

Brief History The Chinese Lunar Calendar is based on a 12 year cycle, each year in the cycle is associated with a different animal. The Perth Mint in Australia started issuing series of Chinese Lunar Calendar coins, in gold and silver, in 1996, which was the Year of the Rat. We rarely manage to buy any of the older years, which tend to be very hard to source.
