Perth Mint Lunar series 3


FoolzGold

Recommended Posts

With the much-loved Queen's Beasts series almost at its end I've been wondering what other series might be worth following in silver form and decided to splash out on one of the Perth Mint Lunar series 3 2oz silver coins. This was a while back but I've only just taken delivery today and I have to say it's pretty darn impressive.

Although it's the same weight as the QB the choice to go for a slightly thinner coin makes for a nice display piece at 50mm across and yet it's still fairly chunky. The matte finish with shiny detailing looks pretty sophisticated too.

I follow a few 1oz silver series (e.g. Rwanda lunar & nautical ounce) but this 2oz lunar is definitely a winner for me and gives me something to look forward to once the QBs are finished. Would have been nice to have a twice-yearly series, but this will have to do for now.

Year of the mouse may turn out to be difficult to purchase in the future.  I'm not seeing them for sale much since this shenanigans.

First coin in new series too.

They seem to have disappeared.

Personally I was never very impressed by the artwork on the series 1 or 2 coins, that's why I never picked any up. It wasn't bad, just a bit flat and uninspiring. Kind of like images taken out of a Ladybird Book of Animals from the 1970s...

I guess we can't really judge how this series will go based on a single coin but to me the quality of this artwork (in all variations) is streets ahead of the previous offerings.

Unfortunately, as mentioned above, it's almost impossible to get hold of any of these at present (without paying ludicrous premiums) but hopefully supply will catch up before they go out of production. After all, many are unlimited mintage for 2020 and we're only at the end of May. I'll certainly be tempted to pick up some of the other size versions if they become available again.
