What was the 1st year PM released Silver Lunar 10oz coins?

[Silver Natural 9]

Specifically, were there series I 10oz coins released prior to 1999?
Looks like there are some gold coins around of verious weights as far back as '96.
However I'm very close to finishing a 10oz silver set, so I need to see what is what.

No 10 and 5 oz in 08, 09 and 10 for series 1 silver
They were issued in the hurry in 2007 to start together with series 2 gold.
This is also the reason for the lower mintage as 4 years were issued in 2007

While the page is up to date for series I numbers, it's worth noting that the sales figures are only to May 2010. Since then I know that 2008 1oz mice have been hunted to extinction (300,000) and I'm pretty sure 2009 Oxen, 2010 Tigers and 2011 Rabbits are sold out at the mint and major dealers too.

The first 5oz Lunars came out in 2004 with the Monkey.
