2008Year of the MOUSEAustralia Silver Lunar coinsSeries 1Australian "Year of the MOUSE" (sometimes called the "Year of the Rat") gold and silver coins were minted in 2008 by the Perth Mint. The Perth Mint is the official Australian government mint. First minted in 1999 the Lunar "Silver" coin Series lasted for 12 years. This coin series, is now called series I. It commemorates each one of the twelve Chinese lunar years with the official lunar calendar animal. 2008 is the Chinese lunar "Year of the Mouse". Both silver and gold Mouse series I coins were minted by the Australian government. The design changed yearly to match the Chinese Year of the Animal. This 12 year silver coin series ended in 2010 with the Year of the Tiger coins.
2008 is the tenth year of this Australia Series I Lunar Silver coin series. The featured animal on the 2008 silver lunar coins is the "MOUSE or RAT". One one side of the coin shows a single mouse with his nose slightly in the air and has the date of 2008. The Queen's portrait is on the other side with a date of 2007, which was the year the coins were actually minted.
The Silver MOUSE coins shown below come in Mint Brilliant Uncirculated condition and are housed in the Mint's original hard plastic capsule (unless otherwise described). For more information about the lunar Series one silver coins minted from 1999 to 2010 click here.
Note that there are two different styles of 2008 Year of the Mouse coins produced. While the 12 years of "series One" lunar coins were still being made, the Australia Perth Mint decided to start a new series of lunar silver coins. The second series will run for 12 years, from 2008 to 2019. Because the first series did not end until the year 2010 and the second series started in 2008, there are three years where two styles of lunar silver coins were minted: 2008, 2009, and 2010. You can tell the difference by the coin's design and dimensions. The series 1 coins have a different design than the series II coins.
OTHER AUSTRALIA SILVER COINS: In 1999 Australia began producing the Lunar silver series. Each year the design changes to match the Chinese Year of the Animal.

Australia Lunar Animals Series 1Pure Gold Coins:(Click on the blue links below to view current sale prices and available inventory.) Australia began minting the Lunar gold coins series in 1996 with the first "Year of the Rat" or "Year of the Mouse" coins. Since then they have produced gold and silver coins of various sizes including: 1996 - Rat/Mouse, 1997 - OX, 1998 - Tiger, 1999 - Rabbit, 2000 - Dragon, 2001 - Snake, 2002 - Horse, 2003 - Sheep/GOAT, 2004 - Monkey, 2005 - Rooster, 2006 - Dog, and the final year of this first GOLD series 2007 Pig/Boar. The Australia Perth Mint has announced that they are no longer minting these first Series coins. With the end of production they announced mintages and some of them are very low. Many years are getting hard to find.
Australia began minting a new, second series of lunar gold coins beginning in 2009. They feature different dates, designs, and in some cases different coin diameters. Click here for our sister website and the Series II lunar gold coins. Australia also makes gold Kangaroo coins.
