All 2009 1 oz Australian Silver Lunar Ox Coins in this listing come to you with protective plastic capsules to house the coins. The 1 oz silver coin in the series is the only one with a mintage cap, which is set at 300,000 coins. The other five weights available had unlimited mintage figures, meaning Perth Mint struck the designs to meet demand through the end of the calendar year of issue.

Founded in 1899, Perth Mint is the oldest-operating mint in Australia. Originally a Royal Mint of England facility on the continent, the Perth Mint played a vital role in the transition from colony through federation to independence for Australia. Today, it is owned and operated by the state government of Western Australia.
