The 2020 2 oz Australia Gold Lunar Mouse is a large-format bullion coin struck by The Perth Mint in .9999 fine gold as part of the third installment of Australia's celebrated Lunar Series. At two troy ounces, it occupies a prominent position within the Lunar lineup, offering substantially more metal content than the standard one-ounce issue while maintaining the same design precision and legal tender status under Australian law. The coin is issued annually under the Australian Lunar Series III program, with each year's release featuring a new animal from the Chinese zodiac calendar.
This particular release marks the Year of the Mouse, the first sign in the twelve-year zodiac cycle, making it a natural starting point within Series III. We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, reflecting The Perth Mint's production standards for their flagship bullion releases. The P mintmark confirms it was struck at the Perth facility in Western Australia.

This particular release marks the Year of the Mouse, the first sign in the twelve-year zodiac cycle, making it a natural starting point within Series III. We carry this coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, reflecting The Perth Mint's production standards for their flagship bullion releases. The P mintmark confirms it was struck at the Perth facility in Western Australia.
The Perth Mint introduced its first Australian Lunar Series in 1996, pairing the enduring appeal of the Chinese zodiac with world-class precious metals production. The series quickly gained recognition among collectors and bullion buyers worldwide, establishing a track record that prompted The Perth Mint to launch a second series beginning in 2008 and a third in 2020. Each successive series has refined the design approach and expanded the range of available weights and formats.
Series III launched with the Year of the Mouse in 2020, opening a new twelve-year cycle with updated design sensibilities while retaining the core elements that made earlier series popular. The Perth Mint operates as a statutory authority of the Government of Western Australia and has been refining and minting precious metals since 1899. Its reputation for exceptional strike quality and consistent purity standards has made its products fixtures in global bullion markets.
The reverse of the 2020 Gold Lunar Mouse features a detailed depiction of a mouse rendered with naturalistic precision, set against a background that incorporates traditional decorative motifs referencing Chinese artistic heritage. The composition balances fine surface detail with open field areas that accentuate the coin's high-relief qualities and mirror-like luster where the design transitions to the surrounding field. The year of issue and the coin's weight and purity are inscribed on the reverse, maintaining the clean formatting characteristic of Perth Mint's Lunar releases.
The obverse carries the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, accompanied by the legal tender denomination of 200 Australian dollars. The portrait is positioned within a cleanly framed field that allows the coin's substantial diameter to feel balanced rather than crowded. Across both faces, the strike quality associated with Brilliant Uncirculated production is evident in the sharpness of detail and the consistency of surface texture.
Each coin is struck in .9999 fine gold to The Perth Mint's exacting production standards, with the metal content and purity confirmed through the mint's internal quality control processes. The Perth Mint's reputation for precision minting is well established, and its gold Lunar coins are widely accepted and recognized in international bullion markets as a result. The specifications stamped directly on the coin's reverse, including weight and fineness, serve as a straightforward authentication reference point.
We source products from reputable mints, refineries, and authorized distributors, and every item is verified for authenticity, weight, and purity before it reaches our customers. Our authorized dealer relationships with PCGS and NGC further support authentication where grading or certification is relevant to a transaction. For a coin of this caliber from a government-backed facility, the combination of mint-certified specifications and recognized chain of custody provides a strong foundation for buyer confidence.
Brilliant Uncirculated is the standard production grade for bullion-quality Perth Mint Lunar coins, indicating that the coin has not entered circulation and retains its original mint-struck surface. BU coins display full luster, sharp strike detail, and no wear, though minor handling marks from the production and packaging process may occasionally be present, as is typical for coins in this category. The designation reflects the coin's status as a bullion-grade strike rather than a proof or collector-grade specimen.
Individual coins typically ship in a protective plastic flip. The standard tube for this two-ounce format holds ten coins, and larger quantities are packaged in sealed boxes consistent with Perth Mint's distribution standards for this weight class. When the precise tube or box count cannot be confirmed for a specific lot, we describe the format in general terms to avoid conveying inaccurate packaging information. Packaging is designed to preserve surface quality and minimize contact during transit.
Pricing for the 2020 2 oz Gold Lunar Mouse is based on the live spot price of gold, with a premium applied to reflect the coin's production cost, mintage quality, and collector demand within the Lunar series. Two-ounce gold coins carry a distinct premium profile compared to standard one-ounce issues, partly because they are produced in smaller quantities and attract a more specialized buyer base. Demand for specific Lunar years, particularly the Mouse as the opening year of Series III, contributes an additional layer of market interest that can influence secondary market pricing over time.
Our pricing is structured to reflect real-time market conditions with transparency rather than fixed retail markups that obscure true cost. The bid/ask spread displayed on our product pages provides a clear picture of both the acquisition cost and the current market resale context, giving buyers the information needed to evaluate the full transaction rather than just the purchase price.
Gold Lunar coins from The Perth Mint are well recognized in global bullion markets, and the two-ounce format, while less common than the one-ounce, trades actively among collectors and bullion buyers who prioritize design-driven releases from established sovereign mints. The coin's .9999 fine gold content, government backing, and clearly stamped specifications make it straightforward to evaluate and price in resale transactions. Series III Year of the Mouse coins benefit from being the inaugural year of the cycle, which tends to sustain collector interest relative to mid-cycle releases.
We operate a two-way market that supports both buying and selling, allowing customers to transact within the same platform rather than navigating separate channels. Liquidity is something we believe should be considered before a purchase is made, and our competitive buyback pricing reflects that philosophy in practice.
The two-ounce Gold Lunar Mouse occupies a specific niche that appeals to buyers who want meaningful gold weight combined with the artistic distinction of the Lunar series. At two ounces of .9999 fine gold, the coin delivers substantial metal content in a format that remains manageable as a single piece. The Year of the Mouse holds particular significance as the opening release of Series III, which makes it relevant both as a bullion holding and as a natural starting point for collectors building a complete set of the third cycle.
The Perth Mint's consistent execution across the Lunar program gives buyers confidence that the quality of this release reflects the same standards applied to every coin in the series. Government issuance under Australian law, a recognized sovereign mintmark, and a globally understood precious metals specification make this coin accessible across a wide range of resale environments without requiring additional certification for standard transactions.
We have built our reputation over more than a decade on transparent pricing, authentic products, and straightforward service. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau reflects the consistency with which we deliver on that commitment, and our memberships in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association reflect our standing within the broader industry. As an authorized dealer for both PCGS and NGC, we maintain recognized authentication relationships that matter when condition and certification are relevant factors in a purchase.
Our platform is designed to give buyers the information they need to make informed decisions rather than pushing them toward a sale. Transparent bid/ask pricing, live market data, and competitive buyback pricing are built into the experience because we believe understanding the full cost and liquidity picture is fundamental to buying physical gold responsibly. Our payment options, fulfillment standards, and customer support are all structured around making the process as clear and secure as possible from first click to final delivery.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing, which is particularly meaningful for larger-format coins like the 2 oz Gold Lunar Mouse where the premium per ounce and bid/ask spread have a more pronounced effect on overall cost. Rather than transacting at fixed retail price structures, Pro members see pricing that reflects real-time supply and demand conditions in the wholesale precious metals market, with no additional dealer markups applied on top of those levels. Portfolio valuations are updated using live wholesale bid pricing, giving members a more accurate picture of current liquidation value rather than estimated retail figures.
For a product like this one, where collector demand, mintage size, and series position all influence pricing dynamics, having access to historical premium data, spread analysis, and liquidity metrics through Bullion Standard Pro allows for a more complete evaluation. These tools are designed to help buyers understand how a product trades over time rather than relying solely on current spot price as a reference point.
We support a wide range of payment methods to make purchasing straightforward and secure regardless of buyer preference. Accepted payment options include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, and cryptocurrency payments via BitPay. Each method is integrated into a secure transaction environment designed to protect buyer information throughout the process.
Whether you are completing a single purchase or transacting at higher volumes, our payment infrastructure is built to accommodate different needs without compromising security or efficiency. The full range of options is available at checkout, allowing you to select the method that best fits your transaction.
