Every twelve years the goat returns to the Chinese lunar calendar – and in 2027 the Australian state mint honors it with a monument in fine gold. This Gold Lunar issue is no mass product: only 750 specimens leave the minting press. Worldwide. Forever. Anyone who acquires one secures one of the most sought-after collector's coins of the 2027 minting year.

The design: goat, persimmons, and a crescent moon in fine gold

The design side shows a goat in a calm, peaceful pose on rocky ground. Above its head, branches curve with persimmon fruits, which in China symbolize luck and prosperity. Goat and persimmon together form the old wish of good fortune, "everything as you wish." The curved design field echoes the shape of a crescent moon, directly referencing the lunar calendar. The design is complemented by the character for goat as well as the inscription "1oz .9999 Au" – so weight and fineness are stated directly on the coin.

King Charles III and the complete zodiac

On the value side you'll find the portrait of King Charles III, designed by Daniel Thorne. Unusual and appealing to collectors: all twelve zodiac animals run around the royal portrait over a wave pattern – from the rat to the horse to the pig. The legend, the year 2027, and the face value "100 DOLLARS" complete this side.

Domed and in Proof quality – the art of minting at its finest

The domed shape is the hallmark of the Royal Australian Mint. It requires its own tools, its own minting parameters, and a great deal of experience. Combined with the Proof finish, it creates a contrast that is almost impossible to capture in photographs: a deep black mirrored background, a velvety matte goat, and the finest details in the fur, foliage, and fruit. Proof means handwork, gloves, and great care – please never touch the coin unprotected.

A mintage of only 750 pieces: why rarity matters

A comparison makes the scale clear: the classic goat gold coins from Australia's Perth Mint (Australian Lunar Series III) are issued in far higher numbers and appeal primarily to investors. This domed issue from Canberra, by contrast, has a mintage of only 750 pieces. It is precisely this rarity that matters when collectors later want to fill a gap in their twelve-piece series.

• Series: The goat is the eighth animal in the cycle – an important building block for any Lunar collection.
• Condition: Brand new, untouched, in the original case with certificate.
• Target audience: Lunar collectors, fans of domed coins, buyers with a passion for very low mintages.
• Gift idea: A wonderful present for anyone born in the Year of the Goat.

Gold: humanity's oldest store of value

Beneath all the craftsmanship lies simple substance: 31.1 grams of pure gold, the big brother of small silver. For over 6,000 years, this metal has served as money, jewelry, and a store of wealth; it has never had a value of zero, because its intrinsic value does not depend on any central bank. Gold is tradable worldwide, highly liquid, and held by central banks as a reserve. Many buyers also value it as an inflation hedge and as crisis protection – though for this issue, the collector's value is clearly the main focus.

Gold has shone for thousands of years – and never loses that shine.

Tax matters remain pleasantly simple: investment gold is exempt from VAT, and profits from its sale are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year. This makes it easy to pass on this rarity across generations with peace of mind.
