First ever Lunar Platinum coins
1OZ PLATINUM COIN 2020 YEAR OF THE MOUSE – PERTH MINT
The first lunar platinum bullion coin celebrates the Year of the Mouse, the first of twelve animals associated with the ancient Chinese lunar calendar.
The coin’s reverse portrays a mouse climbing stalks of wheat. Also included in the design is the Chinese character for ‘mouse’, the inscription ‘MOUSE 2020’ and The Perth Mint ‘P’ mintmark. The obverse of the coin depicts the Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the weight and fineness, and the monetary denomination.
Those born under the sign of the Chinese lunar mouse in 2020, 2008, 1996, 1984, 1972 and every 12thpreceding year, are said to be smart, resourceful, adaptable and kind. Possessing a rich imagination and strong intuition, mice rely on quick wits and an enterprising nature to find opportunities for success in almost all endeavours.
The Perth Mint will produce no more than 5,000 1oz coins. Production will cease when the mintage is fully sold or at the end of the series, whichever comes first.
Meticulously struck from 99.95% pure platinum, the coin is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.
