2017 "Year of the Rooster"
Australian Silver Dollar
The 2017 "Year of the Rooster" Silver Dollar was
the tenth coin issued in the popular Australian
Silver Lunar Series II. The original twelve
Australian Silver Lunar coins (1999-2010) had
extremely low mintages (84,000 coins average per
year) and are now very valuable and difficult to
find.
The Lunar Series II coins began in 2008 and
differed from the original coins with a larger
diameter (45 mm vs. 40.6 mm) and updated animal
designs. Each coin is gem brilliant uncirculated
with a gorgeous "reverse-proof" finish. The
background is frosted while the images have a
brilliant mirror finish. Each coin comes in a clear
plastic capsule to protect the beautiful finish and
contains one ounce 0.999 fine silver.
The 2017 "Year of the Rooster" Silver Dollar's
entire mintage of 300,000 coins SOLD OUT at the
Perth Mint in the first few days of issue! As such,
they are very difficult to find and prices continue
to go up on the secondary market. Our supply of
coins is limited and may sell out without
notice.
