A new coin, a capsule.
The Australia 2 Dollars Year of the Mouse 2008 silver coin is a remarkable release from the Lunar Calendar Series II, enhanced with vivid color to bring the zodiac design to life. Struck in 2 oz of fine silver, it honors the first sign of the Chinese zodiac. The obverse features the classic effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “AUSTRALIA,” “2 DOLLARS,” the year “2008,” and silver purity. The reverse depicts two realistically colored mice resting on a bed of straw beside large orange pumpkins, with a tree branch in the background. The Chinese character for “Mouse” appears above, and the inscription “Year of the Mouse” is placed below. This detailed scene symbolizes abundance, adaptability, and cleverness — qualities attributed to those born under this sign. The colorful artistry makes this release stand out among Lunar issues, combining numismatic value with cultural symbolism. A true highlight of Series II, it remains highly desirable among collectors worldwide.
