1/2 oz Australian Lunar Series II Silver 12 Coin Set The Australian Perth Mint’s Lunar Series is highly regarded for its stunning representation of the Chinese Lunar Calendar. This series showcases each of the twelve astrological signs on beautifully designed gold and silver coins, available in various sizes and finishes.  As the Chinese Lunar Calendar cycles through 12 zodiac signs annually, the Perth Mint releases one coin annually, completing the series over a 12-year timeframe.
