| Additional information |
The "Year of the Horse" issues from the Perth Mint's Lunar Series II are struck in .9999 fine gold — a purity standard the Perth Mint has maintained since 1957, making it one of the first mints globally to achieve and sustain four-nines fineness in bullion coinage. The "Snowflakes" sub-type within this series designates a specific privy-marked or frosted-field variant produced in limited numbers beyond the standard Lunar release, targeting the collector tier rather than the bullion market.
At 3.111 g, this is a one-tenth troy ounce piece — the entry-level denomination in Perth's fractional gold hierarchy for the series.
