DETAILS
The Perth Mint is proud to present this exclusive Beijing International Coin Exposition – 2027 1/2oz Silver Gold-Plated Coin in Card.
According to Chinese tradition, the emperor ordered a great race between all the animals on Earth to determine who should occupy 12 positions in the lunar calendar. In pursuit of the seventh-placed horse, the gentle and determined goat travelled alongside the monkey and the rooster. As they approached the finish line, the trio worked together to cross a wide river. Leading the way, the goat reached the other side and crossed the line to claim eighth place.
Those born under the sign of the Chinese Lunar Goat in 2027, 2015, 2003, 1991, 1979 and every 12th preceding year are said to be gentle, creative, and compassionate. Known for their calm nature and resilience, they are often admired for their artistic talents and thoughtful approach to life.
The coin’s reverse depicts a mature goat, a young goat and a baby goat grazing peacefully. The image embodies the auspicious phrase “Three Goats Bring Bliss” symbolising the end of winter and the arrival of spring, the renewal of all things and prosperous new beginnings. Featured in the design is a plum blossom tree representing purity, resilience and hope. The coin is gold-plated. Also included in the design is the Chinese character for ‘Goat’, the inscription ‘GOAT 2027’,
and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
The coin’s obverse bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, as well as the weight, fineness, and the monetary denomination.
Struck from 1/2oz of 99.99% pure silver, the coin is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965. This exquisitely designed coin is encased in a beautifully illustrated display card.
