2005 Australia 1 oz Silver Year of the Rooster BU (Series I)
The year 2005 marked the seventh release in the celebrated Australian Lunar Series, a collection known for honoring the animals of the ancient zodiac.

It represents a fusion of precise manufacturing and cultural artistry, with a total mintage of 92,691 pieces. On the reverse side, the design features a detailed rooster positioned alongside a delicate flower, set against the backdrop of a rising sun. This side also notes the weight and purity of the metal, inscribed as 1 OZ 999 SILVER. The obverse displays the familiar effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, with his initials IRB visible beneath the portrait. Surrounding the queen are the inscriptions denoting the country of issue, the year, and the denomination of 1 DOLLAR.
