The Australian Lunar Series III Year of the Goat 2027 from Perth Mint brings the eighth issue of the twelve-year zodiac cycle into its largest silver format and places the motif on a full kilo of 999.9 silver.

Product Details

One kilo of silver across more than ten centimetres

At 1,000 grams and with a fineness of 999.9, this issue ranks among the heaviest formats a mint releases as part of a series. The diameter of 100.90 millimeters opens a field on which even the small details of the landscape keep their place.

The coin is struck in brilliant uncirculated quality. For bullion coins this is the customary grade, showing the fresh and even lustre of a newly minted surface. Across a kilo of silver the result is a consistently bright image in which the contours of the engraving stand calm and clear.

Motif and Design

An entire landscape on a kilo coin

The reverse shows a fully grown goat, a young goat and a kid resting and grazing together amid rocky surroundings. A blossoming plum tree completes the depiction and gives the scene its peaceful mood. On this surface the richly detailed design unfolds so far that each animal can be studied on its own.

The artful design also includes the Chinese character for goat, the inscription GOAT 2027 and the traditional P mintmark of Perth Mint.

The obverse bears the portrait of His Majesty King Charles III designed by Dan Thorne. It is complemented by the details of weight and fineness as well as the face value of 30 dollars, which give this silver coin its sovereign framework.

Historical and Cultural Background

The goat in eighth place of a long cycle

Twelve animals form one complete round in the Chinese zodiac calendar, in which the goat takes eighth place. Since each sign returns only after twelve years, the Lunar III series follows a rhythm that spans more than a decade.

People born in the Year of the Goat are traditionally regarded as gentle, creative and compassionate. They are credited with a calm nature, resilience, artistic talent and a particularly considered approach to life. The motif picks up exactly that tone, since the three animals appear neither in motion nor in conflict but in a moment of shared rest.

Among the best-known houses for bullion coins, Perth Mint has long held its place, and its zodiac issues have a firm collector following internationally. Each year of issue stands on its own while joining a range that grows over the years.

Exclusivity and Investment Value

A kilo of substance in a slow-moving cycle

This issue appears without a mintage limit, as is customary for bullion coins. Its collector dimension therefore arises not from a fixed quantity but from the year of issue itself, since the sign of the goat comes round again only after twelve years.

Carrying its valuation above all is the material value of one kilo of 999.9 silver. Silver is traded worldwide and can be priced transparently at any time, which eases resale. With kilo coins there is the added point that collectors and investors often treat the large formats as anchor pieces of a holding and part with them only rarely.

Secure your example of the 2027 year of issue and add the Year of the Goat to your Lunar collection.

Special Features

A kilo you pick up with both hands

One kilo of silver rests differently in the hand than any smaller format. The weight demands attention, the 100.90 millimeters fill the palm completely, and the wide silver surface catches the light in one single calm sweep.

Silver has asserted its role as a store of value across centuries. Large weight units bring a practical advantage here, because the premium over the pure metal value per ounce is usually considerably lower than with small pieces. Because resale is guided above all by metal content, the price of a kilo coin rests on a particularly broad foundation.

What makes this coin special?

The eighth issue of the Lunar III series brings its richly detailed motif of three goats and a blossoming plum tree onto one kilo of 999.9 silver in brilliant uncirculated quality, joining a clearly dated year of issue with the largest silver format of the range.
