The 2017 1 Kilo Australia Silver Lunar Rooster is one of the most substantial releases in the Perth Mint's acclaimed Lunar Series II program, struck in .999 fine silver with a total weight of 32.15 troy ounces. As legal tender under the authority of the Australian government, each coin carries a face value denomination and bears the official portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse. The kilo format occupies a distinct position in the bullion market, appealing to collectors and stackers alike who want significant silver content in a single, premium presentation.
We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, meaning each piece exhibits clean surfaces and sharp strike detail consistent with coins that have not been placed into circulation. The combination of high silver content, government-backed issuance, and the cultural resonance of the Lunar calendar makes this a recognized and widely traded piece within the broader silver market.

We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, meaning each piece exhibits clean surfaces and sharp strike detail consistent with coins that have not been placed into circulation. The combination of high silver content, government-backed issuance, and the cultural resonance of the Lunar calendar makes this a recognized and widely traded piece within the broader silver market.
The Perth Mint launched its first Lunar coin series in 1996, drawing on the Chinese zodiac calendar as the thematic foundation for an annual release program. The series quickly earned a strong following among collectors in Australia, Asia, and across the global bullion market. When the first series concluded in 2007, the Perth Mint introduced Lunar Series II in 2008 with updated designs, refined production standards, and expanded size options including the impressive kilo format.
The Rooster is the tenth animal in the twelve-year Chinese zodiac cycle, and 2017 marked its appearance in the Series II program. Those born under the Rooster sign are traditionally associated with confidence, precision, and diligence, characteristics that carry meaning for collectors who follow the cultural traditions behind the series. The Perth Mint has built a reputation over more than a century as one of the world's foremost sovereign minting facilities, and the Lunar program stands as one of its most consistently produced and internationally recognized annual releases.
Australia's Lunar Series II coins are struck under the Coinage Act and bear the official endorsement of the Australian government, giving them legal tender status. This institutional backing, combined with the Perth Mint's long-standing production standards, has helped establish the series as a benchmark for collectible silver bullion programs globally.
The reverse of this coin features a detailed depiction of a rooster rendered in the Perth Mint's characteristically intricate engraving style. The composition captures the rooster in a dynamic posture, with fine feather detailing that demonstrates the level of craftsmanship applied to the Lunar Series II program at the kilo scale. Inscriptions on the reverse include the year of issue, the coin's silver weight and purity, and the Chinese character for "Rooster," reinforcing both the numismatic identity and cultural theme of the piece.
The obverse carries the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, which was the standard portrait used on Australian coinage during this period. The portrait is surrounded by inscriptions identifying the coin's legal tender face value and its Australian origin. The Brilliant Uncirculated finish presents the design elements with strong contrast and clear definition, allowing the engraved detail to read cleanly across the coin's large surface area.
At the kilo scale, the sheer diameter and depth of the coin give the design a commanding physical presence that smaller silver issues simply cannot replicate. The Perth Mint's production precision at this size is a notable achievement in itself, and the Rooster release is widely regarded as one of the stronger artistic entries in the Series II program.
Each coin in the Perth Mint's Lunar Series II program is struck to exacting tolerances, with the metal content, weight, and purity verified through the Mint's internal quality controls before release. The .999 fine silver composition and 32.15 troy ounce weight are guaranteed by the Perth Mint and backed by the authority of the Australian government through the coin's legal tender status. This dual layer of institutional accountability is one of the reasons sovereign-minted coins from established facilities like the Perth Mint carry strong credibility in both the collector and bullion markets.
We verify every product we handle for authenticity, weight, and purity before it reaches our customers. Our authorized dealer relationships with PCGS and NGC further reinforce our ability to support grading, authentication, and third-party certification for customers who want an additional layer of verification on higher-value pieces like this one.
This coin is offered in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, which reflects a coin struck for collectors and bullion buyers rather than everyday circulation. BU coins retain their original mint luster and present the full detail of the die with no wear from handling or use. For a high-relief, large-format coin like the kilo Rooster, BU condition is the standard expectation and represents the coin as the Perth Mint intended it to be seen.
The Perth Mint packages its kilo Lunar coins individually in a custom presentation box accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity. This packaging is a standard feature of the kilo format within the Lunar Series II program and contributes meaningfully to the coin's collectible character. Individual coins ship in a manner that protects both the coin and its original presentation materials, preserving the integrity of the product as received from the Mint.
Pricing for this coin is anchored to the current silver spot price, with a premium applied above that baseline to account for the Perth Mint's production costs, the coin's collectible Lunar Series II designation, and the added weight of the kilo format. Larger silver coins generally carry proportionally higher premiums per ounce relative to standard one-ounce issues, reflecting both the complexity of producing them and the specialized demand within the collector and stacker markets.
The Rooster's position within a completed annual series also influences pricing dynamics. Coins from finished series tend to develop a more defined secondary market premium structure over time as the fixed supply becomes clearer. We display live pricing that reflects real-time spot movements, so the price you see at any given moment accurately captures current market conditions rather than a static estimate.
The 2017 Kilo Silver Lunar Rooster benefits from the broad recognition that comes with Perth Mint sovereign issuance, standardized specifications, and the established global following of the Lunar Series II program. Coins from this series trade actively in both bullion and numismatic channels, and the kilo format, while less liquid than one-ounce issues on a unit basis, attracts a dedicated segment of buyers who prioritize silver density and presentation quality.
We operate a two-way market, meaning customers can both purchase and sell precious metals through our platform. Liquidity is a factor worth evaluating before any purchase, not only when it is time to sell, and our competitive buyback pricing is designed to support that consideration from the outset. Understanding the bid/ask spread for a specific product like this one provides a more complete picture of the true cost of ownership over time.
Few silver coins combine substantial metal content, government backing, and meaningful collector appeal in the way the Perth Mint's Lunar Series II kilo issues do. At 32.15 troy ounces of .999 fine silver, this coin represents a significant physical silver holding in a single piece, while the Rooster design and numbered certificate of authenticity give it a distinctly collectible character that standard bullion rounds or bars cannot match.
The Series II program is now complete, which means the 2017 Rooster is part of a finite body of work from one of the world's most respected sovereign mints. For collectors building a complete Lunar Series II set or buyers seeking a kilo coin with strong design execution, the Rooster release represents one of the more compelling options within the program's run.
We have built our reputation on transparent pricing, honest communication, and a buying experience that respects the intelligence of our customers. Our pricing reflects live market conditions and is structured to provide clarity on both the acquisition cost and the resale value, so you understand the full economics of a purchase before committing. The bid/ask spread displayed on each product page is a direct expression of that commitment to transparency.
Our sourcing draws on relationships with reputable mints, authorized distributors, and established wholesalers, and every product we sell is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity. We hold an A rating with the Better Business Bureau and maintain active memberships in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association. As authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, we are also well-positioned to support customers who want third-party grading or certification on higher-value pieces. Our goal is straightforward: provide a professional, transparent experience that earns long-term trust rather than a single transaction.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across our catalog, including large-format coins like the 1 Kilo Lunar Rooster. Rather than relying on indicative or static pricing, Pro members transact at real-time wholesale market prices without additional dealer markups or dealer spreads layered on top. This creates a materially different pricing environment for buyers who are active in the market or who hold significant silver positions.
Beyond pricing, Pro provides real-time portfolio valuation using current wholesale bid prices, which gives a more accurate picture of liquidation value than retail-based estimates. Proprietary market intelligence tools, historical premium analytics, and product comparison features allow members to evaluate the kilo Rooster relative to other silver products using objective data rather than marketing narratives. For anyone managing a meaningful silver position, the ability to track premiums, spreads, and wholesale market conditions on a single platform is a meaningful advantage.
We support a wide range of payment methods to make purchasing straightforward and secure. Customers can pay using Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover, as well as PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, or paper check. For customers who prefer digital assets, we also accept cryptocurrency payments through BitPay.
Every transaction on our platform is processed with security and reliability as the primary considerations. Whether you are purchasing a single kilo coin or building a larger position, the payment infrastructure is designed to give you flexibility without sacrificing transaction integrity.
