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.

No mintage limit applies to the 1 kilo, 5oz, 2oz and 1/2oz coins.

A maximum of 100 10 kilo coins will be produced on a mint-to-order basis. Similarly, production will close at the end of 2020, when the coin’s mintage will be declared.

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

DESIGN
Each coin’s reverse portrays two mice foraging on husks of corn. Also included in the design is the Chinese character for ‘mouse’, the inscription ‘MOUSE 2020’ and The Perth Mint ‘P’ mintmark.

The obverse of each coin depicts the Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the weight and fineness, and the monetary denomination.

AUTHENTICATION FEATURE
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.

PRESENTATION
Each bullion coin is presented in a protective acrylic capsule.
