The scene is completed by the Chinese character for “Mouse,” the inscription Year of the Mouse, and the Perth Mint “P” mintmark. The obverse bears the elegant effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, with inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “AUSTRALIA,” the denomination “8 DOLLARS,” the year 2008, and silver purity and weight.
