This was the last coin in Series I of the Perth Mint's silver lunar coins.
This coin is one of 3 unusual coins that were especially struck by the Perth Mint in 2007 to finish off the set of 12 coins in the Series I set.
We say unusual because not only do these three coins feature a date on the reverse (like all of the preceding dates in Series I), but they also have a date on the obverse!
Series I of the silver lunar coins started in 1999 with the rabbit, while Series I of the lunar gold coins started in 1993 with the mouse.
Staff at the Perth Mint had the idea of re-calibrating their lunar coins so both the gold and silver series began and started at the same time. That was a great idea, but it meant the last 3 dates in the silver series needed to be covered before Series II could begin.
This is where the Perth Mint chose to strike 3 different silver lunar 1oz coins in 2007 that would normally have been issued across 2008 (Mouse), 2009 (Ox) and 2010 (Tiger).
This coin remains in the capsule with was originally issued in.
