2oz Lunar Mouse Silver Coin

These magnificent silver coins celebrate the Year of the Mouse, one of 12 animals associated with the ancient Chinese lunar calendar. The birth dates for people ruled by the Chinese Lunar dog include 1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006 and 2018. Those born under the influence of this sign are said to be loyal, amiable, kind and friendly.

The reverse of each coin features a representation of a domesticated or pet pig, which are typically pink with black markings, along with four piglets, amid stylised foliage. The Chinese character for ‘pig’ and the inscription ‘Year of the Pig’ appear in the design with The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark.  

The Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the 2020 year-date, the monetary denomination, and the weight and fineness are shown on the obverse of each coin.
