2027 Year of the Goat 1oz Silver Gilded Coin
The Perth Mint is pleased to present a beautifully crafted 1oz silver gilded coin, celebrating the Year of the Goat.
According to Chinese tradition, the emperor ordered a great race between all the animals on Earth to determine who should occupy 12 positions in the lunar calendar. In pursuit of the seventh-placed horse, the gentle yet steadfast goat journeyed beside the lively monkey and the spirited rooster. As the finish line drew near, the trio joined forces to navigate a wide, rushing river. With calm determination, the goat led the charge, reached the far bank first, and crossed the line to secure eighth place.
Those born under the sign of the Chinese lunar Goat in 2027, 2015, 2003, 1991, 1979 and every 12th preceding
year are said to be gentle souls with a natural gift for creativity and compassion. Their calm presence and quiet
resilience make them steady anchors in challenging moments, while their artistic eye and thoughtful nature draw others to them. They tend to move through life with grace, empathy, and a deep appreciation for beauty.
The coin’s reverse portrays a mature goat, a young goat and a baby goat grazing peacefully.
The image embodies the auspicious phrase “Three Goats Bring Bliss” symbolising the end of winter and the arrival of spring, the renewal of all things and prosperous new beginnings. Featured in the design is a plum blossom tree representing purity, resilience and hope.
Also included in the design is the Chinese character for ‘Goat’, the inscription ‘GOAT 2027’, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
