2 oz. Australian Lunar Silver Bullion Coin
Series I, II, & III


1999 - Present



Moon

In 1999, three years after the successful release of the Gold Lunar Bullion Coin, the Perth Mint introduced the Australian Lunar Silver Bullion Coin Series.

Earlier-minted Australian Lunar silver bullion coins can have potentially higher premiums due to the coin's proof-like finish and limited mintage.

Buying the coin in its current year of production is the best way to obtain the Australian Lunar silver bullion coin with the lowest premiums.
