1 oz Silver 2017 Australia Year Of The Rooster 50 Cent Coin

The Perth Mint's 2017 Lunar Series II release celebrates the Year of the Rooster with exceptional craftsmanship. This 1oz .9999 pure silver coin features a dynamic depiction of a rooster in mid-crow, with intricate feather detailing that showcases the mint's advanced die-cutting technology. The obverse bears the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. Unlike standard bullion, this coin has a legal tender face value of 50 Australian cents. The reverse design incorporates traditional Chinese cloud motifs framing the rooster, symbolizing good fortune. Limited to a production of 30,000 coins, each piece comes in a protective acrylic capsule with a themed display card featuring the Chinese character for "rooster" (鸡). The coin's proof-like finish enhances its collectibility.
