The Royal Australian Mint Lunar programme celebrates the twelve animals of the Chinese Zodiac through annually changing designs. Royal Australian Mint Lunar coins are issued in a variety of precious metal formats and finishes, including:
Most Royal Australian Mint Lunar bullion coins are struck in .9999 fine gold or silver and issued as Australian legal tender. Bullion editions are produced to Brilliant Uncirculated investment standard, while proof issues are struck using specially prepared dies and polished blanks to achieve mirror-like finishes and frosted detail. Collectors particularly value Royal Australian Mint Lunar coins for their distinctive artistic style, lower mintages and unique presentation formats. Domed proof Lunar coins have become especially popular due to their curved striking format, which enhances the appearance of the zodiac animal designs and creates strong visual appeal. The Royal Australian Mint Lunar series runs alongside the famous Perth Mint Lunar collections, offering collectors an alternative Australian interpretation of the Chinese zodiac. Community discussions frequently compare the two series, with many collectors appreciating the cleaner and more contemporary design style often found on Royal Australian Mint releases. Many Royal Australian Mint Lunar coins are issued in limited mintages and supplied in official presentation packaging with certificates of authenticity. Selected examples are also professionally graded by PCGS or NGC, with high-grade proof and bullion issues especially sought after among collectors of modern world coins.
