2020 Year of the Mouse Three Coin Silver Proof Set

The Perth Mint’s highly anticipated Australian Lunar Series III coin program is an array of superb silver coins celebrating the first animal in the zodiac, the Mouse.

Those born under the sign of the Chinese lunar mouse in 2020, 2008, 1996, 1984, 1972 and every 12th preceding year are said to be smart, resourceful, adaptable and kind. Possessing a rich imagination and strong intuition, mice rely on quick wits and an enterprising nature to find opportunity for success in almost all endeavours.

Struck from 99.99% pure silver in proof quality, no more than 1,000 three-coin sets, will be released in this packaging.

Each coin’s reverse portrays two mice foraging on husks of corn. Also included in the design is the Chinese character for ‘mouse’,

The obverse of each coin depicts the Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II,

Each three-coin set is housed in a classic display case with a clear lid decorated with a silver geometric design.

The case is packaged in a beautifully illustrated shipper portraying the story of how the mouse became an animal of the zodiac and is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

The shippers of future animals in the Lunar Series III will, when arrayed together, form a diorama depicting the ancient myth of The Great Race, which tells how the zodiac came into being.
