The completely new Australian Lunar Series III by the Perth Mint starts in 2020 with the 'Year of the Mouse'. The first animal in the Chinese zodiac calendar is the mouse, which is honored and celebrated with this coin. The first issues of the 12-year- Lunar III series feature original artwork of the little fearless explorers. The small rodents are very curious and explore their surroundings daily. With great imagination and keen intuition, mice rely on their clever minds to memorize places, paths, obstacles, feeding sites and other things. The motive of the 99.99% pure gold coin depicts a mouse climbing stalk of wheat. Also included in the design are the Chinese sign for "mouse", the inscription "MOUSE 2020" and the mintmark "P" of the Perth Mint. Those born under the sign of the Chinese lunar mouse in 2020, 2008, 1996, 1984, 1972, and every 12th preceding year are said to be smart, resourceful, adaptable and kind. Their motto is "all or nothing" and their mind is razor-sharp. They always fall to their feet and immediately get up again. The bullion coin is delivered in a capsule.
