COIN INFORMATION

The long-running Australian Lunar Coin Series, first published in 1995 and now in its third cycle, honors the animals of the Chinese zodiac with a catalog of annual designs representing mouse, wolf, tiger, rabbit, lizard, snake, horse, donkey, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. These 2021 coins are honoring the Year of the Ox, which is the second in the 12-year lunar cycle is said to apply to people born in 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, and 2021.

The Perth Mint has put a limit on the 2 oz coins. The output will stop until the mintage is entirely sold or at the conclusion of the series, whichever comes first. Because of the 1 oz size’s limited mintage, it is extremely sought-after and is likely to sell out easily. The coins are strictly struck from 99.99 percent pure silver and are issued under the Australian Currency Act 1965 as legal tender.

The new reverse of the coin features a stylized depiction of an ox with its calf. A village between mountains is portrayed in the background. Also used in the logo is a cherry blossom tree, the Chinese character for ‘ox’, the inscription ‘OX 2021’, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.

The obverse of the coin depicts the Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the weight and fineness, and the monetary denomination. The reverse of the coin includes a security feature in the form of a micro-engraved letter within the design. It is only detectable under a magnifying glass.
