Lunar 2027 1/4 troy ounce gouden munt

The Lunar 2027 1/4 troy ounce gold coin celebrates the Year of the Goat and is one of the smaller sizes in the Australian Lunar series. Lunar coins are known for their detailed designs, and the 2027 edition is no exception. The Goat is shown standing on a mountain landscape, exposed to the wind high in the Chinese mountains. For anyone born in the Year of the Goat according to the lunar calendar, this gold bullion coin also makes a meaningful gift.

One troy ounce equals 31.1 grams and is the international standard unit for precious metals. A quarter troy ounce therefore contains 7.776 grams of fine gold, with a purity of 999.9/1000, or 24 carats. Because the amount invested per coin is lower, this size suits investors who prefer to build a gold position gradually. It also gives you more flexibility when selling, as you can sell individual coins rather than a larger holding all at once.

The premium per gram is generally higher than for a 1 or 2 troy ounce coin, because minting and packaging costs are spread over a smaller amount of gold. You can compare all available sizes of 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4 and 1/10 troy ounce on our Lunar gold coins page.

In the Western zodiac, signs are linked to the month of birth, while in the Chinese calendar a person's birth year determines their zodiac animal. As the eighth sign of the Chinese zodiac, the Goat is associated with calmness, kindness and creativity. People born in 2027, 2015, 2003, 1991, 1979, 1967 or 1955 are Goats according to this calendar. The annually changing design makes the series attractive to collectors, while the 999.9/1000 purity and the reputation of The Perth Mint also make the coins suitable for investors.

Design of the Lunar 2027 1/4 troy ounce gold coin

The Perth Mint has produced Lunar coins featuring a different animal each year since 1996. The third Lunar series began in 2020 and reaches the Year of the Goat in 2027. The coin is made from 999.9/1000 fine gold without added metals. Because pure gold is relatively soft and prone to scratching, the coin is supplied in a hard plastic capsule.

For the reverse, Wade Robinson created a design featuring 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 P mint mark of The Perth Mint. A micro-engraved letter, visible only under magnification, serves as a security feature. The obverse features Dan Thorne's portrait of King Charles III, together with the face value of 25 Australian dollars.
