About the Lunar Series
The Lunar Series was first released by the Perth Mint in the 1996, in gold. Since then it has gained in popularity and has a following among numismatic collectors and bullion enthusiasts. The series follows the Chinese Lunar calendar, and depicts a new animal each year. After 12 years, the cycle repeats itself. There are twelve animals in the Chinese lunar calendar, each representing different characteristics in people born in that year, as well as offering horoscope like preditions for the future year based on trends and characteristics of the animal. 
 
The Rat / Mouse is considered a very agile and highly intelligent animal, and is considered to be a good year to be born into. Rats are also symbolic of wealth and abundance in Chinese culture.
