2027 1/2oz Perth Mint Gold Lunar Goat Coin Series 3

Description

The half ounce Year of the Goat coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 99.99% pure gold and carries Wade Robinson’s reverse design in full: a majestic goat standing on a mountain plain with rugged terrain and a solitary tree in the distance, the Chinese character for Goat, the inscription GOAT 2027 and The Perth Mint’s P mintmark. The obverse features the Dan Thorne effigy of King Charles III with the $50 denomination.

At 25.60 mm and 15.553 g, the half ounce is a practical size for buyers who want meaningful gold content in a divisible form, useful if you would rather hold several smaller coins than one large one. No mintage limit applies, with the official mintage declared once production closes.

About the 2027 Year of the Goat Lunar Series III collection

The Australian Lunar Series is The Perth Mint’s longest running and most collected coin program. Series III began in 2020 with the Year of the Mouse and runs to 2031, each year bringing a new design for the corresponding zodiac animal. The 2027 Year of the Goat is the eighth release. Those born under the Goat in 2027, 2015, 2003, 1991 and 1979 are said to be gentle, creative and compassionate, admired for their calm nature and artistic talent.

The release spans all three metals: silver in five sizes from 1/2oz to 1 kilo at 99.99%, carrying Natasha Muhl’s “Three Goats Bring Bliss” design; gold in seven sizes from 1/20oz to 10oz at 99.99%, and a single 1oz platinum coin at 99.95%, both carrying Wade Robinson’s mountain plain design. Mintages are capped at 5,000 platinum, 30,000 for the 1oz gold and 300,000 for the 1oz silver, with the other sizes unlimited until production closes. Lunar coins draw bullion buyers and zodiac set collectors at once, which is why earlier releases have historically traded above their metal content.
