Perth Mint Lunar Coins

The Chinese Lunar Calendar is based on a 12-year cycle. Each year is associated with a different animal and the lunar animal for 2003 is the goat (or sheep).

The goat is believed to represent harmony and growth. This lunar animal is very popular as it is the eighth in the lunar calendar. Many believe it also represents peace and prosperity, as the number 8 is considered to be particularly lucky in China.

Lunar Series I

Australia's Perth Mint started issuing series of Chinese Lunar Calendar Coins in 1996. The 12-year cycle of the first series of the gold coins ran from 1996 to 2007 inclusive, and all designs proved to be very popular. In fact, we rarely manage to buy any of the older years, which tend to be very hard to source.

Obverse

The Ian Rank-Broadley portrait of Queen Elizabeth II appears on the obverse of the coin. The text reads:

ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA · 100 DOLLARS ·

Reverse

Designed by Ing Ing Jong, the reverse features a goat amongst some grass. The year is shown in the left field, with the Chinese character '羊' meaning 'Goat' to the right. The text at the bottom reads:

1 OZ 9999 GOLD
