2015 Australia 5 oz Silver Lunar Goat

The goat is an animal of high esteem in Chinese tradition since it kept their ancestors alive for thousands of years. The goat offered more than just meat to eat but with its skin and fur, it provided protection from the weather, warmth, and even paper for society's progress. Not one part of the goat was wasted, only respected! It has been foretold that those who are the year of the goat will experience an increase of fortune this year. Some personality traits that are common among those born under the year of the goat are introverted, sincere, and gentle. It is also recommended that those born under the goat try investing in something tangible this year. This five ounce coin is delivered in its original mint sealed capsule, and its condition is considered brilliant uncirculated condition with proof-like traits. The Australian Lunar Series II is a sequel to the famous Australian Lunar Series I, which was inspired by the ancient Chinese zodiac calendar. It seems that the Perth Mint is increasing detail in their coins with each passing year; making one better than the last.

The reverse of this coin displays 3 rams, 2 adults and 1 baby, grazing a field. The only inscription is a "P" mint-mark for the Perth Mint, "The Year of the Goat", and the Chinese symbol for "goat." The obverse of the coin features a very detailed side portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her face has graced currency coins of the Commonwealth of Nations for a very long time. The denomination of the coin, and its place and date of mintage are also included on the obverse.
