Following the success of the first lunar series, Perth mint issued a second one running from 2008-2019. Like the first series, it started in 2008 with the mouse and was completed in 2019 with the Pig. The first 3 issues in 2008-2010 were minted along with the last 3 issues of the Lunar Series 1.
The coins in the Silver Lunar Series 2 were issued in a variety of sizes for each year. Coins for all years can be found in the following sizes: 10 Kg($300), 1 Kg($30), 10 Oz($10), 5 Oz($8), 2 Oz($5), 1 Oz($1), and 1/2 Oz(50c). For the first 3 years (2008-2010), a 1/2 Kg($15) coin was also minted. The purity of the coins changed towards the end of the series. Lunar Series 2 from 2008-2017 were minted with .999 pure silver. Beginning in 2018, the coins were minted with .9999 pure silver. The change in purity is reflected on the reverse. Throughout the series, only the 10 Kg and the 1 Oz coin had maximum mintages set. The rest of the sizes were issues as "unlimited". The 1 Oz coin had a maximum mintage of 300,000. Although the obverse and reverse designs changed between Series 1 and Series 2, they are somewhat similar.
