My favorite lunar series so far.
I have to admit the rat is not my favorite design and I like the design of the Perth Mint this year a bit more but this does not make this one bad.
Previous releases
The rooster and the dog are pretty awsome...the pig...not my favorite...
The mintage for the BU version is unknown so far
Silver Proof 1000
Gold 188
The previous years had an insane premium on the gold so I assume this year will be similar.
