The Perth Mint in Australia wisely set maximum mintages of 30,000 pieces on the 1-ounce Lunar gold coins. And in many of the years, not even 30,000 were produced             2007 Pig 2006 Dog 2005 Rooster 2004 Monkey 2003 Goat 2002 Horse 2001 Snake 2000 Dragon 1999 Rabbit  1998 Tiger 1997 Ox 1996 Rat You will receive the complete series of the different animals symbolizing the 12-year Lunar cycle as observed in China and Southeast Asia. This set comes on its own wooden case. These coins are struck in .9999 pure gold to the exacting standards of the Perth Mint, and each coin is individually encapsulated at the mint to protect its delicate pure gold surface. The high quality of this issue, and its popularity around the world, have made it a favorite with bullion buyers and collectors alike. The 1-ounce gold coins are struck in quantities limited to 30,000 pieces each year, and many are sold individually to commemorate special years, or are put in jewelry, which further limits the number of pristine complete sets available. Earlier years, especially the highly-favored Dragon of year 2000, are dwindling in supply.   If you have any questions about this item you can call me at: 443-604-7354 Coin Specifications: Gold content: 12 Troy oz / 373.29 grams Gold Purity: .9999 Pure Gold (24kt) Mint: Australian Perth Mint   Shipping Method and Cost: USPS Registered Mail Insured for $100.00 in the United States Payment Methods: We only accept Cashier's Checks or Wire Transfers  for this item.
