Lunar II

First launched in 1996, the Lunar I series enjoyed immediate global success. In 2008, the Lunar II series was released, each year corresponds to one of the 12 animals of Chinese astrology. Issued by the Australian Perth Mint, they are titled at 999.9 (24k) and come in several formats 1 half, quarter, tenth of an ounce. Like purely classic bullion coins such as the Krugerrands, Philharmonics, Maple Leafs and the American Eagle, they are limited to 30,000 copies annually, they are relatively affordable at the start of their issue but quickly increase in value, which can be a double win for collectors.
