Product Details

Embodying the spirit of prosperity and intelligence, the 2008 Australian silver bullion is a collector's gem celebrating the Year of the Rat from the renowned Lunar Series I. With the allure of .999 fine silver and the prestige of being part of a limited series, this piece stands out as both a striking addition for collectors and a wise choice for investors. The coin's artistic design and historical connection make it a sought-after commodity in the precious metals market—especially in its pristine Brilliant Uncirculated state.

Crafted by the esteemed Perth Mint, this silver masterpiece boasts a unique depiction of a rat—a symbol deeply ingrained in Chinese culture as harbingers of wealth and luck. Enhanced by the visionary artistry involved in its creation, the coin is marked by intricate details that reflect the skill and dedication of its creators. The reverse side showcases the rat expertly designed amidst stalks of wheat, while the obverse features the dignified effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, adding royal elegance to its lush aesthetic.

Every aspect of this coin's development speaks to high-quality minting and expert craftsmanship. The purity of its .999 silver content combined with the superb attention to detail results in a coin that offers incredible aesthetic appeal and value retention. Its high-demand status amongst collectors and investors underscores the timeless appeal and market relevance of the Lunar Series I—a series that continues to capture admiration for its cultural and artistic significance.

The Year of the Rat, being the commencement of the Chinese Zodiac Cycle, further enhances the coin's uniqueness and appeal. Its place in the expansive world of collectible coins is solidified by this dual aspect: a historical linkage to a celebrated cultural symbol and an embodiment of precious metal investment viability. This piece not only adds diversity and depth to an existing portfolio but also provides a foundation for financial confidence with its enduring value.

In terms of presentation, please note the coin is in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, emphasizing its unblemished finish and making it an ideal candidate for both displaying and securing.

Bullion Standard out of all the companies I researched offer the best spots and prices. My only complaint is I wish I had found this company a long time ago as it would have saved me a lot of money. They offer a wide selection for all your bullion needs. Items are packed with great care and shipping is fast. I highly recommend Bullion Standard for all your bullion needs and quit getting ripped offer by the " big guys" . I also recommend enrollment in Pro for the awesome extra savings on your purchases.

I am a great fan of Bullion Standard and have highly recommend this company for the spots and prices of all items. All items were well packed and shipping was quick. I had one issue with processing a purchase online and have been helped by customer service. Another time I paid the higher price since purchase was after hours...my lack of patience sometimes. All items I have purchased had the best prices out of dozens of companies I researched. I could not be more pleased even with a couple of bumps along the road. The quality, quantity and selection is great though if I had one request is that you offered 5 oz silver bars!!
