Perth Mint Year of the Mouse 2oz

Hi-

My first new thread...

I have been following the Perth Mint Lunar Series II, in particular the 2oz bullion. As a collector, not for investment purposes. I just find the coins spectacular!

I noticed them in 2010 with Year of the Tiger and purchased the 2oz then. I've been keeping up since but also went back and purchased the 2oz 2009 Year of the Ox.

My trouble is that I cannot seem to locate much information on 2008 Year of the Mouse, in 2oz. I can find lots of information and availability for the 1 oz, but the 2oz seems a mystery everywhere I look.

Would anyone be able to elaborate on IF there is such a thing as a 2008 Mouse, series II, in 2oz? If not, why was a 2oz produced in subsequent years but not 2008? If so, a few pointers in good directions to complete my series would be most welcome.

Thanks in advance and all the best!

Year of the mouse????

Let me first start with explaining that the mouse is not part of the chinese lunar system. 2008 is the year of the rat and not of the mouse, but I understand the misinterpretation...
According to Krause edition 2012, no 2 ounce pieces were made in Australia in 2008.

 

Thank you very much. I appreciate your time.

I find a mintage number of 9,126.
