The 2009 1oz Gold Australian Lunar Series II Bullion Coin celebrates the Year of the Ox in The Perth Mint’s Chinese zodiac bullion programme. Struck in one troy ounce of .9999 fine gold, it combines Australian legal tender status, Perth Mint production quality and a changing annual lunar reverse that appeals to both bullion investors and date-run collectors. This early Series II date is useful for collectors filling the first half of the second lunar cycle.
