Product Details

Precise craftsmanship in highest gold purity

The coin consists of one ounce of gold with a purity of 999.9 and is produced under the strict quality requirements of proof striking. The surface appears flawlessly smooth and mirrorlike, while the high relief striking impressively accentuates the motif. This combination creates a visual depth that immediately captivates the viewer’s eye.

The diameter of 27.30 millimeters ensures balanced proportions between the motif area and the rim design. In hand, the gold coin feels harmonious and valuable due to its weight of one ounce, making the high material substance instantly perceptible. The Perth Mint guarantees precise fineness and perfect minting quality based on decades of experience. Its authenticity is further confirmed by the specifications of face value, weight and fineness on the reverse.

Motif and Design

Natural grace and artistic attention to detail

The motif depicts a mouse climbing up a curved wheat stalk. The composition conveys lightness and movement, as the fine stalk elegantly encircles the graceful body of the animal. Every line stands out particularly clearly in high relief. Light reflects on the raised surfaces, making the mouse appear lifelike and revealing even the smallest details, such as fur textures, with brilliant clarity.

The Chinese character for “mouse” and the inscription MOUSE 2020 complement the image harmoniously. The Perth Mint’s mintmark P rounds off the design and creates a visual balance between symbolic expression and classic mint signature.

Historical and Cultural Background

Tradition of the zodiac in modern interpretation

In Chinese culture, the mouse is considered the first animal of the zodiac calendar. It is attributed with qualities such as intelligence, creativity and a keen sense for opportunities. The year 2020 was celebrated as the Year of the Mouse and marked the beginning of a new twelve-year cycle.

The Lunar Series III merges this centuries-old symbolism with contemporary minting artistry. Collectors and investors receive not only a premium gold coin, but also an entry into a culturally significant narrative that has been passed down through generations.

Exclusivity and Investment Value

Limited rarity for sophisticated portfolios

The strictly limited mintage of only 288 pieces makes this gold coin a true rarity. Due to the extremely low quantity, it ranks among the most sought-after issues within the Lunar III Series. Collectors acquire an exclusive object of value, while investors gain a solid addition to their precious metal portfolio.

Gold with a purity of 999.9 offers a high degree of value preservation and long-term stability. The combination of material value, high relief technique and international demand for Lunar gold coins results in exceptional resale potential.
