The Perth Mint Lunar Series

The Perth Mint Lunar Series, available in silver, gold, and platinum, is a mainstay of many precious metals portfolios due to its reputation for quality and collectibility. Since their introduction in 1996 as part of the Lunar Bullion Series, these coins—whose demand began in Asia but quickly expanded to Europe and America as investors learned about their superior quality and design—have become among the most sought-after in the world.

Many investors appreciate that the coins' limited mintage creates the possibility of an even higher investment return in the form of a numismatic premium appreciation in addition to the yearly design change.
