The Lunar 2027 1 troy ounce gold coin celebrates the Year of the Goat and is the most widely traded size in the Australian Lunar series. Lunar coins are known for their detailed designs, and the 2027 edition is no exception. The Goat is depicted as a wise animal standing in the wind on top of a Chinese mountain landscape. For anyone born in the Year of the Goat according to the lunar calendar, the 2027 Lunar gold bullion coin also makes a distinctive gift.
One troy ounce equals 31.1 grams. This coin contains 31.103 grams of fine gold with a purity of 999.9/1000, or 24 carats. The global bullion coin market is largely centred on the 1 troy ounce format. The Krugerrand, Maple Leaf and Vienna Philharmonic have the same fine gold weight as Lunar coins, making prices per coin easy to compare.
If you prefer to sell in smaller increments, the same Lunar series also includes 1/2, 1/4 and 1/10 troy ounce versions. You can find all available weights on our Lunar gold coins page.
In the Chinese calendar, a person's birth year determines their zodiac animal, whereas Western zodiac signs are linked to the month of birth. 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 recognition of the mint also make the coins suitable for investors.

The Perth Mint has produced coins based on the Chinese lunar calendar since 1996. The third Lunar series began in 2020 and reaches the Year of the Goat in 2027. The coin is made of 999.9/1000 fine gold without added metals: warm yellow in colour but susceptible to scratches, which is why it has a reeded edge and is supplied in a plastic capsule. The coin measures 32.60 mm in diameter and 2.95 mm in thickness.
Dan Thorne designed the portrait of King Charles III on the obverse, with the face value of 100 Australian dollars shown below. Designer Wade Robinson chose a goat on a mountain landscape for the reverse, with rugged terrain and a single tree in the distance, alongside the Chinese character for goat, the inscription GOAT 2027 and the P mint mark. As a security feature, a micro-engraved letter is hidden on the reverse and can only be seen with a magnifying glass.

About The Perth Mint
The Perth Mint was founded in 1899 during one of the world's major gold rushes, which began in Western Australia in 1893. The mint's role was to process gold from newly discovered goldfields and turn it into bars and coins for use in Australia and across the British Empire. The Perth Mint still operates from its original building. Today, The Perth Mint has developed into a global leader in precious metals. Investor and collector demand for Australian gold and silver bars and coins comes from more than 130 countries. The Perth Mint applies high quality-control standards across the entire value chain, from refining newly mined gold to manufacturing coins and bars and trading and storing them for investors.
The Perth Mint is the only Australian refinery accredited by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) for both gold and silver. From investment precious metals to commemorative coins, The Perth Mint produces detailed designs. As an LBMA-accredited refinery, the stated weight and purity of Perth Mint products are guaranteed.
