The Chinese Lunar Calendar is a 12-year cycle that features a different animal to represent each of the 12 individual years. The animals assigned to each year were given their assignment by the Jade Emperor, and are said to impart some of their character traits to the people born under their sign. The 2017 1 oz Australian Silver Rooster Coin is available to purchase today from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
These 2017 1 oz Australian Silver Rooster Coins are the second release of Year of the Rooster coins from the Perth Mint. In the previous Lunar Series, available from 1996 to 2007, the Year of the Rooster was featured on the 2005 Lunar Series I coin. There is an all-new design for the Lunar Series II Year of the Rooster coin.
On the reverse of the Australian Silver Rooster coin is the image used on all silver Year of the Rooster releases. It includes a family of chickens, led by a bold rooster and featuring a hen with three chicks pecking for morsels on the ground. The surrounding imagery includes native plant species from China.
The obverse of all 2017 1 oz Australian Silver Rooster coins features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty’s depiction is captured in right-profile relief and was created in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley.
Each of the 2017 1 oz Australian Silver Rooster coins from this listing is a perfect specimen according to the NGC. Coins with an MS70 grade exhibit full, original mint luster and bear no detracting flaws of any kind on the surfaces.
Perth Mint was founded as the third and final British Royal Mint facility in Australia in 1899. Just 3 years before federation, the Perth Mint would go on to serve as a primary minting facility during Australia’s transition to independence, and stands today as the oldest operating mint in the country.
