Description: The 2003 1 oz Australian Gold Lunar Goat Coin is a coin minted by the Perth Mint for their Australian Lunar Series. This coin, part of the Lunar Series I, pays homage to the Chinese Zodiac and the Year of the Goat with expert artistry and craftsmanship. The Australian Lunar Series I, including the Year of the Goat coin, is characterized by limited mintage. The controlled production numbers contribute to the coin’s scarcity, enhancing its conductibility and potential future value. On the obverse side, the coin features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley. On the reverse side of the coin, the Goat is depicted as standing majestically in a pasture. The Goat symbolizes gentleness and compassion. Each detail of the Goat’s representation reflects the Perth Mint’s commitment to excellence, making this coin a cherished piece for both numismatists and investors alike. The Perth Mint is renowned for its commitment to exceptional craftsmanship and quality. Coins minted by the Perth Mint often command respect in the market, and the Lunar Series coins are no exception. The mint’s reputation adds credibility and desirability to the coin. The 2003 1 oz Australian Gold Lunar Goat Coin also carries a face value of $100 AUD, making it legal tender. The face value of the coin offers another way of authenticity to the coin even though the intrinsic value of the gold exceeds the face value.
