A new coin, a capsule.
The Australia 8 Dollars Year of the Mouse Lunar Calendar Series II 5 oz Silver Coin 2008 is a prestigious collector’s issue from the Perth Mint, struck in .999 fine silver. It marks the beginning of the Lunar Series II with the Mouse, the first animal in the Chinese Zodiac, a creature symbolizing intelligence, quick thinking, and prosperity. The reverse design presents two intricately detailed mice resting on straw, with large pumpkins rising behind them as a symbol of abundance and family wellbeing. Alongside the detailed imagery are the Chinese character for “Mouse,” the inscription Year of the Mouse, and the Perth Mint “P” mintmark. The obverse depicts the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, surrounded by inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “AUSTRALIA,” the face value “8 DOLLARS,” the year 2008, and silver purity and weight. Struck in an impressive 5 oz format, this coin unites artistry and cultural symbolism, making it a highly desirable treasure in the Lunar Calendar Series II.
