1 Dollar - Elizabeth II Year of the Rooster

Perth Mint's annual Lunar Series II Rooster dollar appeared in 2017 as part of a 12-coin cycle begun in 2008, with each year's release timed to the Chinese New Year calendar. The Year of the Rooster runs from January 28, 2017 through February 15, 2018. Mintage on the standard one-ounce issue was capped at 300,000 pieces — tight enough to sustain secondary market premiums but not the dramatic scarcity of the series' earlier low-mintage years, when some releases sold out within weeks of issue.
