2015 1 oz Australia Silver Lunar Goat BU - Series II

The 2015 1 oz Silver Lunar Goat is the eighth release in the Perth Mint's Lunar Series II, celebrating the Chinese zodiac with artistic detail and investment-grade silver. Those born in the Year of the Goat (also called Year of the Sheep or Ram) are thought to be gentle, creative, and wise. This coin beautifully reflects those qualities in .999 fine silver and is an essential addition for collectors of the full 12-coin series.

Design Insight:

This reverse composition features three goats-a rare grouping in the series, emphasizing the social, familial nature of the zodiac animal. The tranquil design, framed by gnarled tree branches, represents harmony and domestic calm, contrasting with the boldness of previous issues like the Dragon or Tiger.

Collector Note:

The 2015 Lunar Goat offers a refreshing change of tone in the series, with a soft, pastoral design that still maintains Perth Mint's sharp detailing and low-mintage desirability. It is a key entry in completing the Lunar Series II and remains popular with both Eastern and Western collectors for its peaceful symbolism.
