The Lunar 2027 1/10 troy ounce gold coin is the smallest size from this year's Australian Lunar series offered by Holland Gold and celebrates the Year of the Goat. Lunar coins are known for their detailed designs, and the 2027 edition is no exception. The Goat is shown standing in the wind on top of a Chinese mountain landscape. If someone close to you is born in the Year of the Goat, this small gold bullion coin also makes a meaningful gift that can be kept for years.
One troy ounce weighs 31.1 grams and is the international standard unit for precious metals. One tenth of a troy ounce contains 3.110 grams of fine gold, with a purity of 999.9/1000, or 24 carats. Because of its smaller gold content, the price per coin is lower than for the larger sizes. This makes the 1/10 troy ounce version suitable for buyers who prefer to invest in gold in smaller amounts.
There is one important point to consider. The premium over the gold price is relatively higher per gram because minting and packaging costs are spread over just over 3 grams of gold rather than 31 or 62 grams. To compare the different sizes, view the 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4 and 1/10 troy ounce versions on our Lunar gold coins page.
The Goat is the eighth sign of the Chinese zodiac and is associated with calmness, kindness and creativity. Birth years include 2027, 2015, 2003, 1991, 1979, 1967 and 1955. The annually changing design appeals to collectors, while the 999.9/1000 purity also makes the coin suitable for investors.
The Perth Mint has issued Lunar coins since 1996. The 2027 edition, celebrating the Year of the Goat, is part of the third Lunar series that began in 2020. The coin is made from 999.9/1000 fine gold without added metals, giving it its warm gold colour while also making the surface relatively prone to scratching. It is therefore supplied in a hard plastic capsule. The coin measures 16.60 mm in diameter and 1.80 mm in thickness.
The obverse features Dan Thorne's portrait of King Charles III, together with the face value of 15 Australian dollars. Wade Robinson designed the reverse, showing a goat on a mountain landscape with rugged terrain and a single tree in the distance. The design also includes the Chinese character for goat, the inscription GOAT 2027 and The Perth Mint's P mint mark. A micro-engraved letter, visible only under magnification, serves as a security feature.
