The Lunar III Year of the Goat 2027 gold coin contains 15.5517 g of 999.9 fine gold and carries a face value of 50 Australian dollars. It is the eighth release in the Perth Mint's third lunar series, dedicated to the Goat — the eighth animal of the Chinese zodiac. Half an ounce is a compromise between premium and divisibility: the markup over metal is lower than on fractional coins, while the coin still resells easily as a whole.

The Perth Mint launched its first lunar series in 1996. Each series runs for twelve years, covering a full Chinese zodiac cycle, after which the mint starts again with new artwork. The third series began in 2020 with the Year of the Rat, and 2027 falls on the Goat.
The practical consequence: each year's design is struck for one year only and is never reissued. The next Year of the Goat arrives in 2039, by then within the fourth series and with a different reverse.
The obverse carries the effigy of King Charles III by Dan Thorne, together with the 50 Australian dollar denomination, the weight and fineness and the year of issue. Australia remains a constitutional monarchy, which is why the reigning monarch appears on all Australian bullion coins.
The reverse was designed by Wade Robinson. It shows a goat standing on a mountain plain, with rugged terrain and a solitary tree in the distance. The composition is completed by the Chinese character for Goat, the inscription GOAT 2027 and the P mintmark.
The designer described his approach as a study in balance: resilience, inner strength and wisdom were to read as clearly as the animal's gentle nature. The same design appears on the gold and platinum coins. The silver release carries a different reverse — three goats by Natasha Muhl.
The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as a branch of Britain's Royal Mint, refining gold from the Western Australian goldfields. It is now owned by the Government of Western Australia, which guarantees by statute the weight and fineness of every coin struck — an unusual arrangement, as most mints operate as companies without such a guarantee.
The mint's refinery is listed in the LBMA Good Delivery system, meaning its bars and metal are accepted in wholesale trade without further assay. For a buyer of bullion coins this comes down to one thing: on resale, the origin of the metal does not have to be proven.
The capsule matches the coin diameter and is best left closed — 999.9 gold is soft, and fingerprints or scratches reduce the buyback price.
No paper certificate is included — standard for bullion and no reflection on metal value.
We source coins from state mints and LBMA-accredited producers. Every shipment is insured and packed discreetly, with no markings indicating the contents. We also run a gold and silver buyback, so a coin bought here can be sold back without hunting for a buyer. Current quotes are on our gold price page.
| Size | Metal weight | Face value | Diameter |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1/20 oz | 1.5552 g | 5 AUD | 14.60 mm |
| 1/10 oz | 3.1103 g | 15 AUD | 16.60 mm |
| 1/4 oz | 7.7759 g | 25 AUD | 20.06 mm |
| 1/2 oz (this coin) | 15.5517 g | 50 AUD | 25.60 mm |
| 1 oz | 31.1035 g | 100 AUD | 32.60 mm |
| 2 oz | 62.2070 g | 200 AUD | 40.90 mm |
| 10 oz | 311.0350 g | 1000 AUD | 61.00 mm |
Exactly 15.5517 grams of fine gold at 999.9 fineness. The total weight of the coin is effectively the same as its metal content.
The Perth Mint set no cap in advance for this size. The official number struck is published only after production closes. Only the one ounce releases carry a cap announced up front: 30,000 in gold and 300,000 in silver.
They are two separate designs. Gold and platinum carry Wade Robinson's composition with a single goat on a mountain plain. Silver received Natasha Muhl's design showing three goats among mountains with a blossoming plum tree.
In Poland gold meeting the conditions for bullion is exempt from VAT under Article 122 of the VAT Act.
The Chinese zodiac cycle runs twelve years, so the next Year of the Goat falls in 2039 — by then in the Perth Mint's fourth lunar series and with a new reverse.
