Story

Year of the goat collection

In 2015, we celebrate 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.

Each coin is struck from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver and finished in a stunning range of popular numismatic treatments sought after by collectors and gift buyers.

Proof finishes

The reverse of each coin 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.  

The Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the 2015 year-date, and the monetary denomination are shown on the coin’s obverse.
