When you purchase Colorized Australian Lunar 1 oz Silver Coins in this product listing, the items you receive are packaged individually inside of protective plastic flips. The coins listed here have colorized lacquers on the reverse design element and come from random years of availability. Most of the coins are likely to come from the Lunar Series II collection that was in production from 2008 to 2019.

Obverse

The obverse of the Colorized Australian Lunar 1 oz Silver Coin includes a depiction of Queen Elizabeth II in right-profile relief. Throughout her reign, Queen Elizbeth II has been shown in right-profile relief on Australian and Commonwealth denominations, but not all designs are the same. One of the most popular is likely to feature on your Colorized Australian Lunar 1 oz Silver Coins. This 1998 design was created for the Royal Mint of England by Ian Rank-Broadley. The Queen is shown wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara.

Reverse

On the reverse side of these Colorized Australian Lunar 1 oz Silver Coins is a depiction of a lunar animal. The Zodiac follows a 12-year cycle and uses a different animal to represent the year, with each cycle repeating each year with the Year of the Rat coming first and the Year of the Pig coming at the end of the cycle. The colorized lacquer has been applied only to the animals on the reverse face of the coins and no other elements of the coins design fields.

History

The Perth Mint is one of the few sovereign mints to produce colorized versions of its coins. Though the mint offers Proof Australian Lunar 1 oz Silver Coins with colorization, it also offers the Brilliant Uncirculated Australian Lunar 1 oz Silver Coins with colorized lacquers. This application is thin and does nothing to deter from the silver purity and beauty of the coin, but rather, adds to the visual contrast of the coins.
