RAM’s new Prestige Lunar Series launched!
In dramatic news, the Royal Australian Mint has unveiled a brand new
range of Australian legal tender Lunar Silver Proofs! Taking the
Mint’s most popular Lunar program to a new level, and issued
in extraordinarily low numbers, the 2015 Lunar Prestige
Silver Proof Series is sure to make a massive impact both
at home and abroad.
A triumphant work of
numismatic design, each
of the three 99.9% Silver
Proofs in this stunning
new Lunar Prestige
Series carries a reverse
depicting three goats
around a Plum Blossom
– a traditional Chinese
New Year motif
Underpinned by the highest possible Proof standard of the
RAM, this fresh, innovative program comprises three
individually brilliant coins – the 40mm $1 1oz, the
65.10mm $10 5oz and gigantic 99.95mm $30 Kilo.
Crafted from 99.9% silver, these majestic Proofs are
distinguished by the same design as their traditional
Lunar counterparts – offered at right. An inspiring
work of numismatic art, the union of three goats
with a Plum Blossom is most apt, with the former
associated with creativity, and the latter symbolising
beauty and purity.
Above and beyond the obvious beauty and impeccable
purity, the RAM’s 2015 Lunar Prestige Silver Proof Series
is also astonishingly exclusive. The mintage of the $1 1oz
Silver Proof has been set at a surprisingly low 5,000, with a
mere 500 examples of the $10 5oz Silver Proof and 500 of the
gargantuan Kilo Silver Proof struck!

The power of the past in Proof…
Ever since 1998, when the Royal Australian Mint shocked the market with the launch of its very
first Kangaroo Silver Proof, this key annual issue has been a recognised highpoint on the collector
calendar. For those eagerly anticipating the latest edition in this ever-popular program, the wait is
over – and no one will be disappointed!
The concluding chapter of the Explorers’ First Sightings Series, with the designs for the 3-year program
based on early Australian illustrations of our primary native icon, the 2015 $1 Kangaroo Silver Proof sees
the RAM employ the power of modern minting to explore our colonial past. Underpinned by the sharpest
of strikes, and the superb contrast of frosted designs and faultless mirrored fields, this breathtaking coin
features a striking version of the hand‑coloured engraving of a kangaroo by Vincent Woodthorpe – first
published in 1795 in A Voyage to Botany Bay.
Beautifully presented within an official case, this sparkling 40mm, 99.9% pure Silver Proof forms a fabulous finale
to one of the RAM’s most powerful, interesting and innovative series.
