Perth Mint: Lunar Series II – Year of the Mouse 2008 4-Coin Set

Perth Mint: Lunar Series II – Year of the Mouse 2008 4-Coin Set is a prestigious collection of four 1 oz silver coins, minted by the renowned Perth Mint of Australia. Inspired by the Chinese Lunar Calendar, this set celebrates the Year of the Mouse with exceptional craftsmanship and a limited mintage, making it highly desirable for collectors and investors alike.

Each of the four coins features the same reverse design – two mice on a corn husk – but differs in finish:
1. Bullion Coin (standard) – investment-grade version with a shiny design on a matte background.
2. Proof Coin – collector’s edition with a mirror-like background and frosted relief, superbly detailed.
3. Gilded Coin – features 24-carat gold plating on design elements, adding elegance and exclusivity.
4. Coloured Coin – colour-printed version showing lifelike mice, made with advanced printing techniques.

Each coin bears the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, along with denomination, weight, silver purity (Ag 999), and year of issue. These coins are legal tender in Australia.

The set comes in a premium collector’s case and is limited to only 1,500 sets worldwide.

Note: The outer cardboard packaging shows visible signs of wear. Case in very good condition.
