Series 1
Because its gold series started in 1996, and its first silver series did not start until 1999, the two series are three years out of phase with each other. Obviously, the coins relate to their correct years, but the start and end of the coins cycle is different.
To correct this, the Perth Mint decided to issue the 2008 Year of the Rat - Series 1, 2009 Year of the Ox - Series 1, and 2010 Year of the Tiger - Series 1 silver coins between 23rd July 2007 and 31st August 2007.
