    Don't think they released it locally, saw some for sale on eBay SG though.

    As for worth, hell who knows :D

    (Assuming you mean non color)

    1/2 ounce coins are always a devil. They are perennial failures. Name for me a 1/2 ounce coin that's ever done any good (compared to a 1 or 2 ounce).... now name the ones that haven't.... I think the haven'ts have it !

    Only the Lionfish coin and the bush baby kangaroo :)

    The rest went badly.

    Doesn't exist except as part of the 3 coin set, according to the Perth Mint website.
    Do they come in boxes with COAs ?


    Are you sure somebody hasn't put a 1/2 oz bullion coin in a generic perth mint case ?
    I've seen people trying that trick on ebay recently.

    The 1/2 silver dragon proof does exist on it's own, mintage 4,000 (plus 1,000 for the the 3-coin set).
    One sold recently on ebay, bit too expensive for me but they are very hard to find, this is the only one I have seen.

    Anyone know where these were issued? Only in Europe? That ebay listing was from Hungary.

    I suppose there might be some 2 oz individual proofs floating around somewhere in the world as well ?

    As far as I know, the 1/2 silver proofs were only released in Europe. Pretty sure there are no 2oz proofs sold individually - usually the 2oz proofs are coloured coin show specials. The mint makes 1,000 2oz proofs of each lunar coin and they are all made to go in the 3-coin proof set. Also, they make 5,000 1/2oz, 1,000 for the 3-coin set and the other 4,000 for the European market. (All these figures available from PM website in their sales/mintage figures)



    EDIT: Seems I may be wrong, I see there is currently a PM 2oz Proof Rooster for sale here, so maybe the 1,000 limit for 2oz does NOT include the 3-coin set?

    The Rooster is a 1st series issue. For the 2nd series there wasn't any 2oz proof coin issued individually.
