The first Lunar Holey Dollar and Dump pair was released by the Perth Mint.
The reverse of the Holey Dollar portrays animals associated with China's ancient Lunar Calendar, which is based on the 12-year cycles of the moon.
The reverse of the gold-plated Dump is inscribed with the words LUNAR NEW YEAR 2007 and GOOD FORTUNE & PROSPERITY, which surround Chinese characters meaning Happy New Year.
According to legend, the animals, which exert a profound effect on people born under their influence, raced for the honour of representing the first year.
The winner was the mouse, followed by the ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig.
The obverses of the Holey Dollar & Dump depict the Raphael Maklouf and Ian Rank-Broadley effigies of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II respectively.
A maximum of 8,888 of these 2007 Lunar Holey Dollar & Dump Sets were released - reflecting the belief held in Chinese Feng Shui that the number 8 represents 'prosperity' and 'abundance'.
Each coin is housed in a red presentation case, which comes in a brightly illustrated shipper and is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
