This extraordinary 5-ounce silver coin is a true masterpiece of the minting art. With a mintage of only 388 pieces worldwide, it ranks among the rarest collector's coins of 2025. The Perth Mint has created something truly special here: for the first time, a single coin unites all twelve animals of the Chinese lunar calendar in their most adorable form – as baby animals!

Fascinating design with cultural depth

The richly coloured design features the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig as playful young animals. At the centre sits the traditional Bagua symbol with its eight Taoist trigrams. This artistic composition is complemented by the Taijitu – the well-known yin-yang symbol, representing the harmonious unity of opposites. The lovingly crafted animal children are arranged against a subtle, pastoral background, lending the coin an irresistible charm.

"According to Chinese legend, the Emperor once ordered a great race to determine the twelve animals for the lunar calendar. Each animal represents not only a year in the twelve-year cycle, but also shapes the characteristics of those born in that year."

Technical perfection meets investment potential

With an impressive diameter of 61 mm and a fine weight of 155.52 grams of pure silver (fineness 999.9/1,000), this coin is a true heavyweight among silver coins. The Proof minting quality guarantees a mirror-smooth surface with frosted relief – the highest quality grade in coin minting. Each individual coin is delivered in an elegant case and comes with a numbered certificate of authenticity.

Why this coin represents an extraordinary investment

The extremely low mintage makes this coin a highly sought-after collector's item with excellent appreciation prospects. Comparable limited editions from the Perth Mint have demonstrated remarkable price performance in the past. Coins with such low production numbers in particular quickly become sought-after rarities on the international collector's market.

1. The combination of artistic design and strict limitation creates ideal conditions for positive performance
2. As a coloured special edition in Proof quality, it appeals to discerning collectors worldwide
3. The cultural significance of the Lunar calendar ensures international demand, particularly in the Asian market
4. With 5 ounces of fine silver, the coin offers substantial intrinsic value as a solid foundation

Silver as a crisis-proof investment with tradition

Silver has proven itself as a store of value for thousands of years. Rising industrial demand, particularly in future technologies such as electronics and solar technology, meets limited supply. This rarity is further amplified by the artistic refinement and the minimal mintage. As an inflation hedge, physical silver proves its worth especially in uncertain times.

The reverse features the portrait of King Charles III., designed by renowned artist Jody Clark. Surrounded by the specifications of weight, fineness and the face value of 5 Tuvalu dollars, this lends the coin its official legitimacy as legal tender.

A work of art for generations

This extraordinary collector's coin combines thousands of years of tradition with state-of-the-art minting technology. The depiction of all twelve Lunar animals as adorable babies makes it an emotional highlight of any collection. At the same time, the limitation to just 388 specimens worldwide offers considerable appreciation potential, making this coin a smart addition to any portfolio. As a crisis protection measure and long-term investment, it unites the best of both worlds: emotional attachment and rational investment decision.
