The Australian Lunar Series III Year of the Goat 2027 takes the twelve-year zodiac cycle of Perth Mint into its eighth round and places this year of the motif on two ounces of 999.9 silver.

Product Details

Two ounces of silver with room for detail

On the scales the issue weighs 62.2 grams, and its fineness stands at 999.9. With a diameter of 50.80 millimeters it offers considerably more field than a single ounce, which visibly benefits the finely worked design.

The coin is struck in brilliant uncirculated quality. For bullion coins this is the customary standard, showing the fresh, evenly lustrous surface of a newly minted piece. Instead of mirrored collector fields, a calm and consistently bright image of silver emerges in which the engraving stands out clearly.

Motif and Design

Three goats, a plum tree and a great deal of calm

The reverse gathers a fully grown goat, a young goat and a kid resting and grazing together amid rocky surroundings. A blossoming plum tree completes the landscape and lends it its peaceful mood. Worked out in rich detail, the depiction gains depth without ever appearing restless.

Integrated into the artful design are the Chinese character for goat, the inscription GOAT 2027 and the traditional P mintmark of Perth Mint.

The obverse bears the portrait of King Charles III designed by Dan Thorne. Beside it stand the details of weight and fineness as well as the face value of 2 dollars, which give this silver coin its sovereign framework.

Historical and Cultural Background

The eighth sign and the people born under it

The Chinese zodiac calendar arranges twelve animals into one cycle in which the goat takes eighth place. Each sign returns only after twelve years, which is why the Lunar III series follows that rhythm across 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 carries these attributions visibly, since the three animals appear neither in motion nor in confrontation but in a moment of shared rest.

Perth Mint counts among the best-known houses for bullion coins, 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 year of issue that returns only in twelve years

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

Its valuation rests on the material value of two ounces of 999.9 silver. Silver is traded worldwide and can be priced transparently at any time, which eases resale. Anyone building larger quantities receives the original Perth Mint tube from 20 coins onwards, and such units have long been common in the trade.

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

Special Features

Two ounces that are noticeably more

Two ounces of silver rest considerably heavier in the hand than a single ounce, and the 50.80 millimeters of diameter give the motif a surface the eye can wander across. The piece feels compact and substantial at once, without ever becoming unwieldy.

Silver has asserted its role as a store of value across centuries. Larger weight units bring a practical advantage here, because the premium over the metal value per ounce is usually lower than with small pieces. On resale it is above all the metal content that counts, which gives the price a resilient 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 two ounces of 999.9 silver in brilliant uncirculated quality, joining a clearly dated year of issue with a manageable investment format.
