These lovely coins come in a variety of sizes ranging from 1/20 oz to 1/20 o, ¼ oz, ½ oz, 2 oz, and 1 kg. Though no mintage limit applies to coins of these sizes, production will cease at the end of this year. At that point, the revered Perth Mint will announce each coin's final mintage. At the moment, it is known that The Perth Mint will produce a maximum of 30,000 one-ounce Australian Lunar Series II 2017 Year of the Rooster coins. Production will end when the mintage sells out or when the series comes to an end. Whichever event comes first will dictate the end date of production.
