Created due to popular demand from international investors, the Australian Silver Lunar Series 2 began in 2008 with the Year of the Mouse Silver coins, ending in 2019 with the Year of the Pig Silver coins. Following the highly popular Australian Silver Coins Lunar Series 1, this second series has also attracted attention from collectors and investors all around the world. The design for the Australian Lunar Silver bullion coin series draws its inspiration from China’s ancient lunar calendar. Central to the stories in the calendar are 12 animals, each said to have a profound influence over those born under its year of “rule.” Thus, the Australian Silver Lunar coins showcase these 12 animals that play a part in the calendar.

Legal Australian tender, most Silver Lunar Series 2 Perth Mint Silver coins are struck with a larger diameter than many other Silver bullion coins.
