Struck in two full ounces of 99.99% pure silver, the 2020 Australia Lunar Year of the Mouse Silver Coin features an engaging design of two mice foraging among corn husks, accompanied by the Chinese character for “mouse.” The scene captures the animals mid-feast, their expressive poses and fine detailing giving the coin a lively, endearing character as they nibble on kernels of field corn.
The visual impact is further enhanced by the coin’s Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition paired with a distinctive antiqued finish. This treatment introduces a textured contrast of light and shadow across the surface, dramatically emphasizing the intricate details of the design. The darker recesses and highlighted high points bring depth and dimension to the mice as they enjoy their nocturnal snack.
Each coin is meticulously crafted by the artisans at the Perth Mint, ensuring exceptional precision and finish throughout. The iconic “P” mint mark, visible just to the right of the mice, serves as a hallmark of authenticity and craftsmanship, making this piece a standout addition for both Lunar Series collectors and silver investors alike.
