The Perth Mint Australian Lunar Series gold and silver coins commemorate the Chinese Lunar calendar: gold coins were first struck in 1996, silver coins began in 1999. It is now one of the most keenly collected lunar coin series in the entire world.
People born in the Year of the Rooster are apparently the erratic geniuses of the lunar cycle. Clever, skilful, and flexible, they are inventive, original and can solve the most difficult problems with ease. There are few fields in which Rooster people wouldn't be successful, but they have a habit of being too agreeable, which make them not always great leaders.
The coins, case, outer shipper, and certificate are all included and remain in excellent condition.
