The Perth Mint has a reputation for producing some of the most interesting coins. The Lunar Series II released in Australia is highly collectible. Each year a new design is released, which only boosts the collectability of these silver coins. The goat design is the 8th design released in the series, and represents the Year of the Goat. These coin designs depict the animals that appear in the Chinese Lunar Calendar. These coins feature three colorized images of goats, with amazing attention to detail. The coins have a face value of $0.50 and contain a oz of .999 pure silver.
Coin Highlights:
The Lunar Series II coins are a part of celebrating the Chinese Lunar Calendar, which features a 12-year cycle of animal symbols. Each year within the 12-year cycle is represented by an animal. 2015 was the Year of the Goat, and this is illustrated on these beautifully designed silver coins.
On the 2015 Proof Colorized Australian Lunar Goat 1/2 oz Silver Coin, youll see colorized goats, with the background and design effects of the coin in their .999 silver finish.
Obverse Design
The obverse design of the 2015 Proof Colorized Australian Lunar Goat 1/2 oz Silver Coin features the right-profile portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, created in 1998 by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley.
