Pure gold for the Year of the Goat, at a gift-friendly price
Gold has a way of making a gift feel special. The trouble is, most gold coins cost a lot more than most people want to spend on a present.
What you’re getting
It’s worth being clear about size. This is a 0.5g coin, which is 0.016 of a troy ounce, and it measures 11.6mm across. That’s small, roughly the size of a fingernail. It’s sealed in an acrylic capsule inside the card, which protects it and makes it easy to display or tuck into a greeting card.
It’s also Australian legal tender, with a face value of $2.
The design
Wade Robinson’s reverse shows a goat standing proudly on a mountain plain, with rugged ground around it and a peak in the distance. The design includes the Chinese character for goat, “GOAT 2027”, the weight and purity, and The Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark. The obverse carries Dan Thorne’s effigy of His Majesty King Charles III.
The goat in the Great Race
In the legend of the Great Race, the goat travelled with the monkey and the rooster. When they reached a wide, fast-flowing river, the goat calmly led the way across, reached the far bank first and took eighth place in the zodiac.
People born in a Goat year are said to be gentle, creative and compassionate. Goat years include 2027, 2015, 2003, 1991 and 1979. Lunar years begin in late January or February, so if a birthday falls early in the year, it’s worth checking which animal applies.
Who it suits
It’s a natural gift for anyone born in a Goat year, or for Lunar New Year, which begins on 6 February 2027. It’s also a good first gold coin for someone curious about collecting, without a big outlay.
The mintage is 10,000, and the coin is released for Australia and New Zealand only.
