10oz Perth Mint Gold Lunar Coins
The Perth Mint Lunar Series (I, II & III) is based upon the 12 Year Chinese Lunar Calendar, dating back to 2600BC. These 10oz gold Lunar coins are an unusual production, much bigger than typically seen from most mints. The size of the coin makes this more suited to collectors, but investors would see a reduced premium from the larger amount of gold.
All of our 10oz Perth Mint gold Lunar coins are struck in 999.9 pure gold and include free, fully insured delivery.
10oz Perth Mint Gold Lunar Coins
The Perth Mint has issued the Australian Lunar series since 1996, giving each year its own design based on one of the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac. Series I ran to 2007, Series II from 2008 to 2019, and Series III started in 2020, with every design minted for one year only.
The 10oz coin is one of the largest formats in the range. It gives investors a substantial holding of 999.9 fine gold at a much lower premium per gram than the fractional sizes, while still carrying that year's Lunar design.
Every size in the series, from a twentieth of an ounce up to a full kilo, is listed on our Perth Mint Gold Lunar page.
Like all investment grade gold, these coins are exempt from VAT, so the price you pay reflects the gold content and a small premium rather than being inflated by sales tax.
