Comment
Issued by the Perth Mint - $8 Five Ounce Silver Lunar Series 3 Coin.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2020 Australian 8 Dollar Elizabeth II (6th Portrait - Year of the Mouse - Silver Bullion Coin) is that it features a unique privy mark on the reverse side of the coin, which shows a small mouse scurrying across the coin's surface. This privy mark is a nod to the Chinese zodiac, which considers 2020 to be the "Year of the Mouse." This design element adds an extra layer of cultural significance to the coin, making it a truly special collector's item.
