DESCRIPTION
The 2020 Australian Lunar Series III Year of the Mouse 2oz Gold Bullion Coin marks the beginning of The Perth Mint's Australian Lunar Series III, celebrating the first animal of the Chinese zodiac. Struck from 2 troy ounces of 99.99% pure gold, this substantial bullion coin combines exceptional precious metal content with distinctive Lunar artistry and internationally recognised Australian craftsmanship.
The reverse features two mice foraging among stalks of wheat, representing the resourceful and adaptable nature traditionally associated with those born under the sign of the Mouse. The design also incorporates the Chinese character for “Mouse”, the inscription “MOUSE 2020” and The Perth Mint's iconic “P” mintmark. The 2020 Year of the Mouse marked the beginning of the third 12-year cycle of The Perth Mint's celebrated Australian Lunar bullion program.
The obverse features the Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, together with the coin's weight, purity and AUD $200 monetary denomination. Issued as Australian legal tender, the coin combines the intrinsic value of two troy ounces of high-purity gold with the collectible appeal of an important first-year Lunar Series III release.
