2020 Year of the Mouse 1oz Silver Coin

THE PERTH MINT UNVEILS THE 2020 LUNAR PROGRAM FOR INVESTORS, THE FIRST OF SERIES 3

These magnificent silver coins celebrate the Year of the Mouse, the first of twelve animals associated with the ancient Chinese lunar calendar.

Those born under the sign of the Chinese lunar mouse in 2020, 2008, 1996, 1984, 1972 and every 12th preceding 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 up to 300,000 1oz coins.

Meticulously struck from 99.99% pure silver, the coins are issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.

The reverse of all coins except the 10 kilo coin includes a security feature in the form of a micro-laser engraved letter within the design. It is only detectable under a magnifying glass.

ABOUT GERMANIA MINT

Germania Mint is a private mint known for producing high-quality collectible coins, rounds, and bars with unique designs. The mint is located in Poland, and although it's named "Germania Mint," it is not actually a state mint of Germany. The name is derived from the historical and mythological concept of Germania, a term used by the Romans to describe the geographical region that is now Germany.

Germania Mint was established in 2018, and it quickly gained recognition in the numismatic community for its attention to detail and innovative designs. One of the key features of the mint is its focus on quality and craftsmanship, often using high-quality metals and special minting techniques to create products that appeal to collectors and investors alike.

Their products often feature symbolic and historical themes, often rooted in European history and mythology. For example, some of their series include representations of allegorical figures, historical events, and mythical stories. These themes, combined with the high quality of their products, have helped Germania Mint build a strong reputation in the numismatic world.

It's important to note that while Germania Mint draws on historical and cultural themes from the region of Germany and broader Europe, it operates independently of any state minting institution and is considered a private entity in the coin-collecting market.

Swan Bullion Company is proud to be an authorised distributor for both Germania Mint's bullion and numismatic products.
