The original lunar bullion series, these coins (beginning with the Series I launch in 1996) have become some of the most widely collected around the globe, as demand originated in Asia but spread to Europe and America as investors became exposed to the design and quality. In addition to the annual design change, many investors love that the coins' select mintage limits create the potential for even greater investment return in the form of a numismatic premium appreciation. This series is so popular, the 1 oz Gold and Silver Lunars are now instant sell-outs every year!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2024\u003cbr\u003eCountry of Origin: Australia\u003cbr\u003eManufacturer: The Perth Mint\u003cbr\u003eDenomination: 50-cents AUD\u003cbr\u003eMetal Content: 1\/2 Troy oz. \u003cbr\u003ePurity: .9999\u003cbr\u003eThickness: 2.90 mm\u003cbr\u003eDiameter: 32.60 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Colonial Acres Coins Bullion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50175054086433,"sku":"BV37-HDGN","price":65.05,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/1744\/7457\/files\/WBS-A1.DH-2.jpg?v=1719662138","url":"https:\/\/www.colonialacres.com\/products\/2024-australia-50-cent-lunar-year-of-the-dragon-series-iii-1-2oz-9999-silver-no-tax","provider":"Colonial Acres Coins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
