Product Details
As the lunar calendar turns to 2015, the Year of the Goat emerges with a golden brilliance in the form of the Australian Lunar Series II. This exquisite 1/10 oz gold coin pays homage to an animal revered in Chinese culture for its gentle nature and association with prosperity. The goat, or sheep, holds a special place in the hearts of many, symbolizing peace, harmony, and good fortune.
The rich tapestry of Chinese zodiac lore weaves a fascinating tale around the goat. Legend has it that the Jade Emperor called for a great race to determine the order of the zodiac animals. The goat, alongside the monkey and rooster, worked together to cross a river, showcasing the goat’s collaborative spirit. This teamwork secured the goat the eighth position in the zodiac, a number considered lucky in Chinese tradition.
In Chinese astrology, those born in the Year of the Goat are believed to be creative, compassionate, and peace-loving. The goat’s influence is said to bring a year of promise, where diplomacy and artistic endeavors flourish. This 2015 coin captures not just a zodiac sign, but a cultural emblem of tranquility and artistic expression.
The Perth Mint, renowned for its craftsmanship, has outdone itself with this release. Each coin is a testament to the mint’s commitment to excellence, continuing a legacy that began with the first Lunar Series in 1996. The Series II, launched in 2008, builds upon this foundation, offering collectors and investors alike a piece of numismatic artistry that bridges Eastern and Western cultures.
As we delve into the Year of the Goat, this coin serves as more than just a collectible; it’s a tangible connection to an ancient tradition that continues to captivate the modern world. Whether you’re drawn to its cultural significance, its investment potential, or simply its aesthetic beauty, this 1/10 oz gold piece is a treasure that encapsulates a moment in time, preserved in precious metal for generations to come.
Design Features
The obverse of the 2015 1/10 oz Australia Gold Lunar Goat coin features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, a design by Ian Rank-Broadley. This portrait, executed with precision, showcases the Queen in her royal regalia, symbolizing the coin’s status as legal tender and its connection to the Commonwealth. The inscriptions surrounding the portrait typically include “ELIZABETH II,” “AUSTRALIA,” and the coin’s denomination, reinforcing its official nature.
On the reverse, the artistry truly shines with a depiction that captures the essence of the Year of the Goat. A family of three goats is portrayed in a serene pastoral setting, symbolizing the harmony and familial bonds associated with this zodiac sign. The larger goat stands protectively over two kids, one grazing and the other playfully rearing up. This scene is not just a representation of the animal but a nod to the goat’s attributes of nurturing and gentleness. The Chinese character for “goat” is artfully incorporated, along with the inscription “Year of the Goat,” the year “2015,” and the Perth Mint’s iconic “P” mintmark.
