The Lunar Ox is the second animal in the 12-year cycle of the Zodiac. The Chinese Lunar Calendar follows a 12-year cycle that restarts each time the cycle has completed. In 1997, Perth Mint was in the early stages of its massively popular Lunar Series collections. Today, you have the opportunity to get 1997 Australian Lunar Ox 1 oz Gold Coins online in perfect condition from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
The Lunar Series I collection was the beginning of a design concept that would go on to gain massive popularity with investors and collectors. When the Lunar Series I program started, it featured only gold bullion coins. Silver bullion coins were introduced in 1999 in the collection and platinum bullion coins later debuted in 2020 as the Lunar Series III program launched.
Obverse
On the obverse of 1997 Lunar Ox 1 oz Gold Coins, you will find a bust of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is shown in right-profile relief with the George IV State Diadem in a design that was created in 1985 by Raphael Maklouf. Inscriptions on this side read ELIZABETH II, AUSTRALIA, and 100 DOLLARS.
Reverse
The reverse side of the 1997 Australian Lunar Ox Gold Coin comes with an image of an ox. This design honors the power of the mighty ox as the second animal in the 12-year cycle of the Zodiac. Inscriptions here read 1997, 1 OZ 9999 GOLD, and the Chinese symbol for an ox.
History
A staple of the Lunar Series coinage at Perth Mint has been the use of not only new designs for each year in a given 12-year cycle, but also the use of separate designs for the reverse of the gold and silver versions.
