The Australian Lunar Series II is a sequel to the famous Australian Lunar Series I, which was inspired by the ancient Chinese zodiac calendar. It seems that the Perth Mint is increasing detail in their coins with each passing year; making one better than the last. The Perth Mint has also introduced a collaboration between finishes to make images on their coins stand out even more. They use the flawless matte finish of a brilliant uncirculated coin as a background and a shiny proof finish for the images to create a dimensional experience for collectors and investors. Keeping their ancestors warm and fed, the goat is the ultimate sign of provision and protection to the Chinese and they have been held at high esteem for many centuries. Those born under the year of the goat are introverted, sincere, and gentle. This coin is the perfect reminder of the good fortune that is to come in one's life.
The obverse of the coin pictures a more mature and realistic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The obverse is also stamped with the coin's legal tender value, and the place and date of mintage. The reverse of this coin displays 3 rams, 2 adults and 1 baby, grazing a field. The Perth Mint decided to change what the reverse looks like so there is no longer a date on the reverse, next to the animal. The only inscription is a "P" mint-mark for the Perth Mint, "The Year of the Goat", and the Chinese symbol for "goat." At such an achievable price, you can be the esteemed owner of a ten ounce coin that came from one of the oldest and most reputable mints in Australia!
