Year of the Goat 2027 1oz Silver Proof Coloured Coin

The Perth Mint presents the Australian Lunar Series III Year of the Goat 2027 1oz Silver Proof Coloured Coin, a beautifully crafted limited edition celebrating the eighth sign of the Chinese zodiac.

According to Chinese tradition, the emperor ordered a great race between all animals on Earth to determine who should occupy the 12 positions in the lunar calendar. The gentle yet steadfast goat journeyed beside the lively monkey and the spirited rooster, and with calm determination led the charge across a wide, rushing river to secure eighth place. Those born in the Year of the Goat are said to be gentle souls with a natural gift for creativity and compassion, moving through life with grace, empathy and a deep appreciation for beauty.

The coloured reverse portrays a majestic goat standing proudly against a backdrop of towering mountains, with his kid prancing nearby and the mother goat resting peacefully beneath delicate cherry blossoms. The obverse features the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III. Struck to proof quality with a mintage of 7,500 and an issue limit of 6,000, the coin is presented in a presentation case with certificate of authenticity.
