| Additional information |
Perth Mint's long-running Lunar Series II has produced dozens of opal-inlay variants, most issued in strictly limited runs aimed squarely at the collector market — these pieces rarely if ever entered circulation. The opal chips used are sourced from Australian fields, a detail Perth Mint has consistently marketed as a point of domestic provenance.
The dog year falls second in the twelve-year Lunar II cycle, which ran from 2008 through 2019. Mintage figures for opal variants within this series have historically been capped well below standard bullion releases.
