These silver coins are dedicated to the Year of the Goat 2027, the eighth animal in the Chinese zodiac calendar. According to an ancient Chinese legend, the Emperor organized a great race among all the animals of the earth to determine the twelve positions of the lunar calendar. On the way to the finish line, the gentle and determined goat joined forces with the monkey and the rooster. Together, the three crossed a wide river. The goat led the group to the opposite bank and eventually reached the finish line in eighth place. Thus, the goat takes the eighth position in the zodiac.

The coin set comprises three different formats of the eighth release of the 12-year Lunar III Series. All three coins feature a highly detailed depiction of three goats in a peaceful landscape. A mature goat, a young goat and a kid are shown resting and grazing together amid a rocky setting. The design refers to the traditional Chinese saying “Three Goats Bring Bliss” (Sān yáng kāi tài), symbolizing the end of winter, the arrival of spring, renewal, prosperity and auspicious new beginnings. The scene is complemented by a blossoming plum tree, symbolizing purity, resilience and hope. The intricate design also includes the Chinese character for “Goat”, the inscription “GOAT 2027”, and The Perth Mint’s traditional “P” mintmark. The reverses of the coins portray the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, along with the weight, fineness, and denomination.

People born in the Year of the Goat are traditionally considered gentle, creative, and compassionate. They are known for their calm nature, resilience, artistic talent, and thoughtful approach to life. The limited 3.5 oz silver Year of the Goat coin set in proof quality is delivered in the original box including a numbered certificate of authenticity.
