new Belarus lunar serie - opinions?

[postafoa]

I liked these from the start.. Mintage has been dropping rapidly though.. at first it was 8000, then 3000. now with the monkey only 1000.. it was a pain to score

the frosting is really amazing on these

there's a few vid's online.. vids below

edit: here's a picture from a german forum of the 2016 monkey with a mintage of 1000, taken from the mint of belarus website which is impossible to navigate unless you speak russian:

no doubt they're quality coins, although the style isn't for everyone.
The zodiac collection from a couple years back looked fantastic as a complete set.

Does any dealer in Australia have these?

Not my thing, but I love the clock movement/calendar design. Very nice.
