Far and a way the MS key date for the Australian Perth Mint’s Lunar Series 3 1$ Silver 1 oz bullion coin. At the time of writing we are halfway through this third design cycle of the Chinese calendar years, and the planned mintage of 30,000 (in line with the other lowest-mintage dragon privy issues each year) was affected by COVID and in reality plummeted to a minting of a mere 5,237! It is my understanding that, for whatever reason, around a thousand of them are not leaving China and should not be considered in the international market population. It is also worth noting that this is the first in its series with such a harvest privy. Typically “standard” bullion strikes are issued along with 30,000 with the dragon privy and that’s that other than the proof issues!

Mintage: 5,237
