In 2008 the Perth Mint of Australia launched the second edition of one of the most celebrated and recognized bullion series in the world; the Lunar series. As the first animal to cross the finish line in the legend of the Chinese zodiac, the mouse signals the resetting of the Chinese Lunar calendar. The mouse is associated with yang energy which signifies the beginning, making it an appropriate Kickstarter for both the Chinese Zodiac and the second edition of this series! The clever, cunning, and adaptive animal associates to those born in the year 2008, and in 12-year increments both before and prior. Those born in the year of the mouse or known to be highly adaptive above all else, in addition to being optimistic, energetic, kind, and frugal which leads to their immense success. With the 2008 release of this highly collectible series, the Perth Mint maintains its standard for excellence in design on 9999 pure gold, with a limited mintage of only 30,000 coins!
