Introduction
The 2027 1 oz Lunar Goat Silver Coin celebrates the Year of the Goat as part of The Perth Mint's Australian Lunar Series III. Struck from one troy ounce of .9999 fine silver, this bullion coin combines high-purity silver with an annually changing design inspired by the Chinese lunar calendar. Issued as Australian legal tender with a face value of $1 AUD, the 1 oz edition has a maximum mintage of 300,000 coins.
History
The Perth Mint's Australian Lunar Series III continues a tradition of precious metal coins honoring the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac. The third series began in 2020 with the Year of the Mouse and features a new animal each year across a range of gold, silver, and platinum bullion coins.
The 2027 release celebrates the Year of the Goat, the eighth animal in the traditional Chinese zodiac. Previous Years of the Goat include 2015, 2003, 1991, and 1979. In Chinese tradition, the Goat is associated with qualities including creativity, compassion, calmness, and resilience.
The 1 oz silver edition is one of the limited-mintage bullion releases in the 2027 Lunar Goat program. The Perth Mint has established a maximum mintage of 300,000 coins for this size, distinguishing it from several of the larger silver bullion formats offered with unlimited maximum mintages.
Design
The reverse, designed by Natasha Muhl, depicts a mature goat, a young goat, and a baby goat grazing peacefully together. The scene embodies the auspicious phrase "Three Goats Bring Bliss," symbolizing the end of winter, the arrival of spring, renewal, and prosperous new beginnings. A plum blossom tree represents purity, resilience, and hope. The design also incorporates the Chinese character for goat, the inscription GOAT 2027, and The Perth Mint's P mintmark.
The obverse features Dan Thorne's effigy of His Majesty King Charles III. The portrait is accompanied by inscriptions identifying the monarch, the coin's one troy ounce weight, .9999 silver fineness, and $1 Australian monetary denomination.
