Obverse

Queen Elizabeth II is found on the obverse side of Australian Lunar 10 oz Silver Coins. The coins from the Lunar Series I and II programs, dated 1999 to 2019, have Ian Rank-Broadleys effigy of Her Majesty in right-profile relief wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. The coins from the Lunar Series III program, dated 2020 and later, have Jody Clarks right-profile depiction of the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem crown.

Reverse

Various images are possible on the reverse of Australian Lunar 10 oz Silver Coins. The designs on this side change each year and never repeat across the Lunar Series I, II, and III programs. Each series follows a 12-year cycle that starts with an image of the mouse for the first year and concludes with an image of a pig in the last year. Other animals featured include the ox, tiger, rabbit, snake, dragon, monkey, rooster, and dog.

History

Perth Mints lunar programs are unquestionably the leading options in this artistic realm. The Perth Mint uses unlimited mintages for its 10 oz coins. However, this merely means the mint has no cap on how many it will produce in a given timeframe. Perth strikes 10 oz silver coins in these collections from the moment of each new designs release only until the next design is available, at which point the previous design is retired and no longer issued.
