2027 1oz Perth Mint Gold Lunar Goat Coin Series 3

Description

The 2027 Year of the Goat 1oz gold bullion coin is struck by The Perth Mint from one troy ounce of 99.99% pure gold. Wade Robinson’s reverse design features a majestic goat standing proudly on a mountain plain, with rugged terrain and a solitary tree visible in the distance, alongside the Chinese character for Goat, the inscription GOAT 2027 and The Perth Mint’s P mintmark. The obverse carries the Dan Thorne effigy of King Charles III with the coin’s weight, purity and $100 denomination. A micro engraved letter is concealed within the reverse design as a security feature, visible only under a magnifying glass.

The 1oz is the only gold size with a mintage limit. The Perth Mint will produce no more than 30,000 coins, and production ceases when that limit is reached or at the end of the series, whichever comes first. That is a genuinely small ceiling for a worldwide release, which is why the 1oz gold Lunar typically sells out fastest and holds the strongest secondary market of the gold sizes.

Each coin is presented in a Perth Mint acrylic capsule to protect your collectible.

About the 2027 Year of the Goat Lunar Series III

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 a full twelve year cycle to 2031, each year bringing an entirely new design for the corresponding animal of the Chinese zodiac. 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 2027 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.
