A first coin for a 2027 baby: the Baby Goat 2027 1/2oz Silver Proof Coloured Coin
Some gifts for a new baby are outgrown in weeks. A coin dated to their year of birth is something they can keep for life.
The Baby Goat 2027 coin from The Perth Mint is made for exactly that. It’s a 1/2oz silver proof coin with a coloured design, created for children born in the Year of the Goat.
When is the Year of the Goat?
The Year of the Goat runs from 6 February 2027 to 25 January 2028. Children born in that time are said to share the goat’s artistic flair, compassion and courage.
One thing worth knowing if you’re buying ahead: a baby born in January or early February 2027, before 6 February, falls under the Year of the Horse. If the due date is close to that line, it’s worth checking before you buy.
The design
Ing Ing Jong’s coloured reverse shows a playful young goat leaping over rocky ground and flowering plants, with mountains behind. The Chinese character for goat, the words “YEAR OF THE GOAT” and The Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark are part of the design.
The obverse carries Jody Clark’s effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, along with the coin’s weight, fineness, denomination and 2027 year-date.
Quality you can see
The coin is struck to proof quality in 1/2oz of 99.99% pure silver. It’s legal tender of Tuvalu and comes in its presentation case and shipper, so it’s ready to give.
The mintage is 7,500.
A gift to put away
We often hear from grandparents who buy a coin like this when a baby is born, then tuck it away until the child is old enough to appreciate it. A handwritten note in the box about the day they were born makes it even more personal.
It also works well alongside other keepsakes. If you’re building a small collection for a child, our baby and milestones range has more ideas.
