The Lunar III Year of the Goat 2027 silver coin contains 62.2070 g of 999.9 fine silver and carries a face value of 2 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. Larger units carry the lowest market premium per gram of metal, but they sell as a whole — half a coin cannot be sold.

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 2 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 of the 2027 Goat silver coins is by Natasha Muhl. Titled "Three Goats Bring Bliss", it shows three animals — an adult goat, a young goat and a kid — grazing among mountains, with a blossoming plum tree behind them. In Chinese symbolism the plum tree stands for purity, perseverance and hope.
The designer described the trio as an expression of life, vitality and growth, and of the harmony between heaven, earth and humanity. This design applies to silver only — the gold and platinum coins of the same year carry Wade Robinson's work.
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.
A large coin needs care in handling: the mirrored field scratches easily and at this weight the coin slips out of the capsule readily. Keep it sealed.
Silver falls outside the VAT exemption that applies to gold bullion in Poland, so the price includes 23 percent VAT. No paper certificate is included, which is standard for bullion.
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 silver price page.

Exactly 62.2070 grams of fine silver 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.
Yes. Silver falls outside the exemption that applies to gold bullion; in Poland the rate is 23 percent. The same applies to platinum and palladium.
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.
