The 2017 Australia Silver Lunar Rooster is a one-ounce .999 fine silver coin issued by the Perth Mint as part of its second Chinese Lunar Series. Struck to Brilliant Uncirculated standard, it carries a face value of one dollar under Australian legal tender law and stands as one of the more recognized annual releases in the global silver coin market. We carry this coin as part of our broader catalog of sovereign-minted silver from established government mints.
The Series II Lunar program runs on a twelve-year cycle and the Rooster marks the Year of the Rooster in the Chinese zodiac calendar. Each annual release in the series attracts consistent attention from both collectors focused on completing the set and buyers who prioritize government-backed silver with strong secondary market familiarity.
The Perth Mint launched its first Chinese Lunar coin series in 1996, building on Australia's long-standing cultural and economic ties with Asia. The first series concluded in 2007 after completing a full twelve-year zodiac cycle, and the second series launched in 2008 with redesigned reverse imagery an

Each annual release in the series attracts consistent attention from both collectors focused on completing the set and buyers who prioritize government-backed silver with strong secondary market familiarity.
The Perth Mint launched its first Chinese Lunar coin series in 1996, building on Australia's long-standing cultural and economic ties with Asia. The first series concluded in 2007 after completing a full twelve-year zodiac cycle, and the second series launched in 2008 with redesigned reverse imagery and expanded production. The Rooster coin released in 2017 represents the tenth issue of Series II, continuing an unbroken run of annual releases from one of the world's most respected sovereign minting facilities.
The Perth Mint itself has operated since 1899 and holds a reputation for exceptional minting precision across both bullion and collector-grade products. Its Lunar series helped establish Australian silver coins as globally traded instruments recognized across North America, Europe, and Asia. The consistent quality and annual design changes across two decades have made the series a well-documented part of the modern silver coin market.
The reverse of the 2017 Rooster coin features a highly detailed depiction of a rooster in a naturalistic setting, designed by the Perth Mint's in-house team. The composition captures the bird's distinctive plumage with fine engraving detail and is surrounded by the year of issue, the coin's weight and purity, and the Perth Mint's trademark "P" mintmark. The design reflects the artistic ambition that has defined the Lunar Series II program since its debut.
The obverse carries Ian Rank-Broadley's right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, which was the standard portrait used on Australian coinage through this period. The inscription includes "ELIZABETH II," "AUSTRALIA," and the legal tender denomination of one dollar. The overall coin presents a polished, well-struck surface consistent with Brilliant Uncirculated production, with no wear and sharp detail across both sides.
Every coin in the Lunar Series II is struck by the Perth Mint to exacting specifications, with each piece containing one troy ounce of .999 fine silver. The Perth Mint's production standards are among the most rigorous in the world, and its products are widely accepted in global bullion markets without additional testing requirements. The "P" mintmark confirms the coin's origin and ties it to one of the few mints that operates under a government guarantee on metal content and purity.
We verify authenticity, weight, and purity on all products before they reach our customers. As authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, we also have direct access to professional third-party grading and authentication services should certification be relevant to a buyer's specific needs. The combination of Perth Mint production integrity and our own handling standards means buyers can acquire this coin with confidence.
Brilliant Uncirculated coins are struck for quality and show no signs of circulation wear. The surfaces retain full mint luster with sharp, well-defined detail across the design elements. BU is the standard finish for Perth Mint Lunar bullion releases and represents a meaningful step above circulated coinage while remaining distinct from the Proof designation, which involves polished dies and a higher production cost.
Individual coins ship in protective plastic flips to preserve surface condition. A standard tube holds twenty coins, and a sealed monster box contains five hundred coins across twenty-five tubes. Buyers purchasing a full tube or case receive their order in the corresponding original Perth Mint packaging. Regardless of quantity, the goal is to ensure the coin arrives in the same condition it left the mint.
Pricing on the 2017 Silver Lunar Rooster is tied directly to the current spot price of silver, with a premium applied to reflect the costs of sovereign minting, legal tender status, and the ongoing collector demand that characterizes the Lunar Series. Perth Mint products typically carry a slightly elevated premium compared to generic silver rounds, reflecting the mint's global reputation and the annual design structure that supports consistent collector interest.
Our pricing updates in real time with spot market conditions, so the dollar amount displayed reflects current silver pricing rather than a fixed markup that ignores market movement. The bid/ask spread shown on the product page gives buyers a complete picture of the cost to acquire and the current estimated resale value, which is more useful than spot price alone when evaluating the true cost of ownership.
The 2017 Silver Lunar Rooster trades in both the retail and wholesale silver markets with relative ease. Its one-ounce size, government issuance, and well-known series identity make it recognizable to dealers and collectors in North America, Asia, and Europe. Products from the Perth Mint's Lunar program benefit from an established secondary market that extends well beyond a single geographic region.
We operate a two-way market, meaning customers can both purchase and sell this coin through our platform using competitive buyback pricing. Liquidity is a factor worth considering before any purchase, and our model is designed to support that evaluation rather than leaving it until the time of sale. The executable wholesale bid pricing available through Bullion Standard Pro gives members direct visibility into current liquidation values without relying on estimated or retail-based figures.
The Rooster coin occupies a specific position within the Lunar Series II that gives it long-term relevance beyond its metal content. Collectors completing the twelve-year set need this issue, and that sustained demand from the collector market tends to support premiums more firmly than generic silver products where demand is purely spot-driven. The annual design change and limited production window mean the supply of new coins is fixed once the mint year closes.
For buyers focused on one-ounce .999 silver with government backing, this coin delivers the standard specifications alongside the added credibility of Perth Mint production and Australian legal tender status. The combination of recognizable design, sovereign origin, and consistent minting standards makes it a practical and well-understood choice within the one-ounce silver category.
We have been operating as a precious metals dealer since 2010, and our focus has always been on pricing transparency and long-term customer relationships rather than high-pressure sales. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau, membership in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association, and authorized dealer status with both PCGS and NGC reflect a standard of professionalism that we hold across every transaction.
Every product we sell is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity before fulfillment. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions without unnecessary complexity, and our two-way market model means customers can evaluate the complete transaction, including anticipated resale, before committing to a purchase. We believe that kind of transparency is what a straightforward precious metals marketplace should provide.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing on products like the 2017 Silver Lunar Rooster, allowing buyers to see how this coin is priced at the wholesale level in real time. Rather than navigating fixed retail markups, Pro members transact at prices that reflect actual supply and demand within the wholesale market, with premiums and spreads that move naturally as market conditions shift.
Pro also includes proprietary research tools that let members evaluate the Rooster coin alongside comparable silver products using metrics such as premium history, bid/ask spread tightness, and liquidity indicators. Portfolio holdings are valued using live wholesale bid pricing, giving members a realistic picture of current liquidation value rather than an estimate based on retail pricing. For buyers who want more than a product listing, Pro provides the data infrastructure to make more informed decisions.
We support a broad range of payment methods to make the purchasing process straightforward and secure. Buyers can complete transactions using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, or cryptocurrency via BitPay. Each method is integrated into a secure checkout process designed to protect transaction data at every step.
Having multiple payment options available means buyers can choose the method that best fits their situation without being pushed toward a single channel. Whether purchasing a single coin or a full monster box, the checkout experience is designed to be consistent, transparent, and backed by responsive customer support if any questions arise.
