The 2020 Australia Silver Lunar Mouse is a one-ounce, .9999 fine silver coin issued by The Perth Mint as part of its third Lunar Series. Struck annually to honor the Chinese zodiac calendar, the Lunar Series has become one of the most recognized sovereign bullion programs in the world. This coin celebrates the Year of the Mouse, the first sign in the twelve-year zodiac cycle, and carries legal tender status under Australian law.
We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, meaning it arrives in sharp, unhandled state directly from mint production. The combination of government-backed issuance, high-purity silver, and culturally significant subject matter makes it a coin that trades well across multiple buyer categories.
The Perth Mint launched its first Lunar Series in 1996, and the program has since completed two full cycles through the Chinese zodiac.

We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, meaning it arrives in sharp, unhandled state directly from mint production. The combination of government-backed issuance, high-purity silver, and culturally significant subject matter makes it a coin that trades well across multiple buyer categories.
The Perth Mint launched its first Lunar Series in 1996, and the program has since completed two full cycles through the Chinese zodiac. Series III began in 2020 with the Mouse and represents the mint's most refined interpretation of the concept, featuring updated design elements and continued use of .9999 fine silver rather than the .999 standard common across much of the broader bullion market.
The Perth Mint itself was established in 1899 as the last of three Royal Mint branches opened in Australia, and it remains one of the most technically accomplished minting facilities in the world. Operating under the authority of the Western Australian government, it produces coins for circulation, bullion programs, and numismatic collections that are distributed globally. Its Lunar Series coins have built a loyal collector base precisely because of the mint's consistent output quality and the predictable annual release structure.
The Mouse holds particular significance in the Chinese zodiac as the first animal in the cycle, symbolizing the start of a new twelve-year rotation. The 2020 release carried added cultural weight for collectors who follow the full series arc, making it a natural anchor coin for anyone building a complete Series III set.
The reverse of the 2020 Lunar Mouse features a detailed depiction of a mouse rendered with the fine relief and surface contrast that Perth Mint is known for. The design incorporates traditional decorative elements drawing on Chinese artistic conventions, including stylized natural imagery that frames the central subject. The coin's inscription includes the denomination, metal content, weight, and purity alongside the year of issue, giving the reverse a complete identity without feeling cluttered.
The obverse carries the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, which was standard on Australian legal tender coins issued during this period. The portrait is surrounded by the inscribed denomination and country of issue, maintaining the formal structure expected of sovereign coinage. The Brilliant Uncirculated finish allows the design's fine detail to read clearly, with clean fields and sharp strikes throughout.
Perth Mint coins struck in .9999 fine silver represent a higher purity threshold than most sovereign bullion programs, which typically operate at .999. Each coin is produced under the mint's tightly controlled manufacturing processes, with weight and purity conforming to the specifications published at the time of issue. The mint's global standing and long operational history provide strong baseline assurance of product integrity.
We verify every product for authenticity and condition before it reaches our customers. As authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, we maintain sourcing relationships and handling standards consistent with professional numismatic practice. For buyers who want independent certification on top of the mint's own production standards, third-party grading through either service is an option worth considering.
Brilliant Uncirculated denotes a coin that has been struck for collectors and bullion buyers rather than for circulation, with no wear and full mint detail preserved. The designation applies to coins that have not been subject to handling friction or environmental exposure, and it represents the standard delivery condition for most Perth Mint Lunar Series issues at the time of release.
Individual coins ship in protective plastic flips to prevent contact damage during transit. Tubes typically hold 20 coins and represent the standard inner pack for one-ounce Perth Mint Lunar coins. Full sealed boxes contain 500 coins, the standard monster box configuration for this series. If you are ordering a tube or a sealed box quantity, the packaging format reflects those standard configurations accordingly.
The price of any one-ounce silver coin moves in direct relationship to the live spot price of silver, with a premium layered on top to account for production costs, mint margins, and distribution. Perth Mint Lunar Series coins have historically carried premiums above generic rounds or bars, reflecting the coin's sovereign status, collector demand, and the added cost of the more detailed die work required for the annual zodiac designs.
Demand for specific Lunar years is not uniform. First-year coins in a new series cycle tend to attract stronger collector interest, which can influence secondary market premiums over time. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions without arbitrary markups, and the bid/ask spread displayed on our product page gives buyers a transparent view of both the acquisition cost and current resale value.
The Australia Silver Lunar series is among the more liquid sovereign silver programs in the secondary market, supported by an active global collector base and strong institutional familiarity with Perth Mint products. The .9999 purity standard, government backing, and annual release structure all contribute to consistent recognition among dealers and private buyers alike.
We operate a two-way market, meaning customers can sell back to us using the same competitive pricing infrastructure they used to purchase. Liquidity should factor into a buying decision before the transaction is ever made, and we structure our platform to give buyers clear visibility into current wholesale bid pricing so they understand the full picture from the start.
The 2020 Lunar Mouse occupies an appealing position as both a bullion-grade silver coin and a collectible within an established series. Its .9999 fine silver content places it above the standard purity tier for sovereign silver coins, and its government-issued legal tender status distinguishes it from privately minted rounds of similar design quality. For buyers building a complete Series III set, the Mouse is the logical starting point and one of the most referenced coins in the program.
Beyond the series context, the coin's design quality, consistent mintage structure, and Perth Mint provenance make it straightforward to handle and resell. It trades within well-understood parameters for sovereign silver, with a recognizable format that buyers across the market can evaluate quickly and confidently.
We have operated as a nationally recognized precious metals dealer since 2010, and our approach has always centered on transparent pricing, authentic sourcing, and straightforward service. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau reflects a track record built over many years of transactions, not marketing claims. Membership in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association further reflects our commitment to professional standards within the industry.
As authorized dealers for PCGS and NGC, we maintain the authentication relationships and handling standards that matter when buying coins of collector quality. Every product we sell is verified before it ships. Our platform is structured to give you clear pricing information, a transparent view of spreads, and a competitive two-way market that supports both buying and selling without the pressure-driven environment common in traditional precious metals retail. We focus on building long-term relationships through consistency rather than high-volume sales tactics.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing, including on Perth Mint Lunar Series coins where premium fluctuations can be meaningful and worth tracking over time. Rather than relying on static retail price displays, Pro members transact at real-time wholesale market prices without additional dealer markups or fixed retail spreads layered on top. The platform also provides historical premium data, spread analysis, and liquidity metrics that help buyers evaluate whether current pricing on a specific coin reflects normal market conditions or a meaningful deviation from historical norms.
Portfolio valuation through Pro uses live wholesale bid pricing rather than estimated retail values, giving members a more accurate picture of what their holdings are worth at current liquidation levels. For anyone holding multiple years of the Lunar Series or building a broader silver position, that real-time clarity can meaningfully improve how you understand and manage what you own.
We support a wide range of payment methods to make the buying process as straightforward as possible. Major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover are accepted, along with PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, and paper check. For buyers who prefer digital currency, we process cryptocurrency payments through BitPay.
Every transaction is handled with security and reliability at the forefront. Whether you are purchasing a single coin or a full box, the payment process is designed to be efficient, transparent, and supported by responsive customer service at every step.
