Perth Mint Australia has been producing these very popular Chinese Zodiac gold coins since 1996. The series began in 1996 with the Year of the Rat and is currently in its third round after Lunar I and II. The first edition in particular is very popular with collectors and is sometimes traded at a premium.
Queen Elizabeth II, as Head of the Commonwealth, adorns the value side of this coin until 2023.
