Lunar Series

Explore our range of Lunar Series coins from The London Coin Company — a highly collectable category featuring some of the world’s most popular zodiac-themed bullion and proof coin programmes. This category includes Lunar coins from The Royal Mint (UK Shengxiao series) alongside internationally recognised Lunar bullion and collector sets from The Perth Mint, as well as Chinese Lunar issues and other world mint releases. Coins are available in gold, silver, platinum, base metal, and mixed-metal sets across bullion, proof, and brilliant uncirculated finishes.

Lunar coins are inspired by the Chinese zodiac calendar, featuring the 12 animals of the lunar cycle. Each year introduces a new design, making these coins part of long-running series that are widely collected across global bullion and numismatic markets. The Perth Mint’s Lunar programme, first launched in 1996, is one of the most established international series, struck in high-purity gold and silver and known for its detailed annual designs and strong global demand.

The Royal Mint also issues its own UK Lunar Collection (Shēngxiào Series), first introduced in 2014, blending British minting craftsmanship with traditional Chinese zodiac symbolism in annually released designs.
