    found it on a Chinese auction site, first time for me. It is priced at $460 USD

    Edit 2: found also the 2010 tiger in the same style

    notice that the COA says "1 Oz" at the top and at last sentence it says "just 50,000 pcs of this kilo silver colour coin will be release worldwide".

    So, are these Chinese fakes?

    I also love the 1oz Colour 'Editian' written on the Certificate

    The Perth Mint should really check up the spelling before sending these out!

    Ron Currie wont like his name being splashed about if that is fake

    Haven't noticed that :)

    Man, I had no idea that there are fake Australian Lunar coins.

    The point within a circle...
    Looks like a 1oz coloured lunar in a gold/plated housing.

    You never know, it could be legit. But as with everything. Caution is advised.

    The coin would almost certainly be legit, as for everything else like the outer plating round the coin and packaging, maybe/maybe not.

    I think I'll take a chance with it and get myself one of those. I'll contact one of the sellers to see if they will ship them out of China.

    The 2011 1 Oz rabbit is priced at $60 USD more or less. It is a nice looking package overall and even the COA does not have the broken English like the tiger has.
