The Perth Mint has symbolised China’s iconic giant panda in a special
privy mark version of the 2017 Australian Kookaburra 1oz Silver Bullion Coin.
The release marks our participation in this year’s Beijing International
Coin Exposition (BICE), which takes place at the China National Convention
Centre between 10 and 12 November.
China is a key destination for Australian bullion, with coins and bars
valued at billions of dollars heading to the world’s largest consumer of gold
annually.
According to Neil Vance, Group Manager – Minted Products, BICE offers the
Mint a chance to meet face-to-face with large numbers of Chinese retail
customers who appreciate the quality of its wide range of bullion and
numismatic issues.
“This year we’re delighted to be able to offer Chinese buyers a pure
silver coin show special featuring a privy mark representation of their
national animal,” he said. “Combined with its very limited mintage
of just 8,000, the coin is expected to become extremely popular.”
A small number of coins has been allocated for sale in Australia direct
from The Perth Mint. Buyers are invited to order online at www.perthmintbullion.com or by phone on 1300 201 112.
Overseas customers keen to secure the special coin should contact our Hong
Kong distributor LPM as soon
as possible.
