History
The beloved Lunar Series began in 1996 with the release of gold bullion coins. But it wasn’t until 1999 and the Year of the Rabbit that collectors could get their hands on silver versions as well. That inaugural year saw a total of five different silver weights issued ranging from this 1/2 oz all the way up to a massive 1 kilo size. Subsequent Lunar Series continued in 2008 and 2020.
