2009 Year of Ox



The Year of Ox has the lowest mintage for all of its sizes. Commentaries mentioned that it could be due to the sudden issue of all three years in 2007 that caught collectors by surprise and hence affected the demand. Nonetheless, it can be seen that for Lunar Series, mintage and price are not quite inter-linked. This is also the same for Lunar Series issued by the Chinese mint. Notably there was only ONE 2 oz transacted on ebay international from July to December 2009.

Mintage:
1 Kilo: 1,877 (Lowest)
2 oz: 6,465 (Lowest)
1 oz: 52,267 (Lowest)

Transacted price (shipped) (Jul - Dec 2009)
1 Kilo: S$873 - 1,050
2 oz: S$108
1 oz: S$48 - 67

Transacted price (shipped) (Jan - Nov 2010)
1 Kilo: NIL
2 oz: S$126 - 159 (Scarce)
1 oz: S$61 - 82
