These spectacular silver coins celebrate the Year of the Goat, the eighth animal in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac.
The birth dates for people ruled by the Chinese Lunar goat include 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003 and 2015. Those born under the influence of this sign are said to be elegant, charming, artistic, gifted and calm.
Issued as Australian legal tender, each coin is struck from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver. Finished in proof, gilded, coloured or bullion quality, the typeset coin collection demonstrates a stunning range of popular numismatic treatments.
The Perth Mint will release no more than 1,500 of the 2015 Year of the Goat 1oz Silver Typeset Collection.
Each coin’s reverse depicts a family of three goats standing in a stylised rural scene. The Chinese character for ‘goat’ and the inscription ‘Year of the Goat’ also appear in the design with The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark.
Proof: The delicately frosted design appears on a mirror-like polished table.
Gilded: The gilded edition highlights the goats in 24-carat gold.
Coloured: The coloured coin depicts the goats in three contrasting shades.
Bullion: The shiny design appears on a frosted table.
The Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the 2015 year-date and the monetary denomination are shown on the obverse of each coin.
The typeset collection is housed in a classic black and red display case and illustrated shipper and accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
