The Perth Mint Lunar Mouse is the latest in the Lunar calendar series of animals, representing 2020. The 1/2oz silver coin is produced to 999.9 purity silver.

The coin reverse displays the image of two frolicking mice nibbling corn straight from the cob. Writing confirms the ‘MOUSE 2020’ and a Perth mintmark ‘P’.

To maintain consistency throughout the series, the Perth Mint have kept the fourth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank Broadley on the obverse of all the coin sin the series. ‘ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA’ adorns the upper edging of the obverse, while the bottom confirms the metal, purity, weight, year and face value.
