Obverse

Queen Elizabeth II features on the obverse of all Royal Australian Mint Lunar 1 oz Gold Coins. The portrait you find on the coin you get will be determined by the date mark. Coins dated 1999 to 2019 will have the Ian Rank-Broadley image of the Queen created in 1998 for the Royal Mint of England. The coins dated 2020 and onward will feature the Jody Clark design created for the Royal Mint of England in 2015.

Reverse

The 12 animals of the Zodiac feature on the reverse face of Royal Australian Mint Lunar 1 oz Gold Coins. The Royal Australian Mint debuts a new depiction of the 12 animals in the cycle with each date mark. In the event that the animals year has appeared twice in the Lunar New Year Series, such as the 2008 and 2020 Year of the Rat, the specific image of the rat is different for each of those dates, even though the focus on a particular animal remains the same.
