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 the wide river. Leading the way, the goat reached the other side and crossed the line to\u003cbr\u003eclaim eighth place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThose 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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. Also included in the design is the Chinese character for ‘Goat’, the inscription ‘GOAT 2027’, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark. On the obverse, the coin bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, alongside details of its weight, fineness, and monetary denomination.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Perth Mint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49696085639424,"sku":"2027-PM-3S2716EAAA","price":130.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0414\/6957\/files\/2027SILVERgoat50b.jpg?v=1788582610","url":"https:\/\/www.onlinecoinsandcollectables.com.au\/products\/2027-year-of-the-goat-1-2oz-silver-proof-coin-australian-lunar-series-iii","provider":"Online Coins and Collectables","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
