The 2017 Australia 2 oz Silver Lunar Rooster is the tenth installment of the Perth Mint's Australian Lunar Series II. The Perth Mint wanted to keep the silver coin years and the gold coin years at the same production rate so their answer was to have 2 coins per year for three years. Those 6 coins are split: one belongs to the Series I and the other belongs to Series II. The Australian Lunar Series I coins have a simpler design, wherein the Australian Lunar Series II showcase a stunning combo of proof-like images along a matte finished brilliant uncirculated coin. This combination makes for a phenomenally designed coin that is perfect for any coin collection. The Australian Lunar Series has been appealing to both silver and gold investors since 1996, when the first coin was minted. Combining the brilliant contrast of glossy proof finish with the frosted features of brilliant uncirculated, the Australian Lunar Series is the future of coin technology. The Perth Mint even secures each coin in their own protective capsule to ensure customers receive the utmost service any mint or refinery as to offer!
The Perth Mint depicts a poignant rooster, on the reverse of the Australian Lunar Silver 2 oz Silver Series II 2017 Rooster, while a hen and her chicks keep him company. The birds stand out in a mirror-like finish as the background is highlighted in a matte finish. The obverse contains the famous portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with the coin's legal tender value and silver weight/purity content. Guaranteed by the oldest mint in Australia, the Australian Lunar Silver 2 oz Silver Series II 2017 Rooster weighs one ounce of .999 pure silver. The Lunar Years of the Rooster include 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005 and 2017. Those born under these dates are said to be hardworking, loyal, and extroverted.
