In 1996, Perth Mint started its Lunar Series collection with 1 oz gold coins featuring unique images of the 12 animals from the Zodiac. Each year in the cycle brought its own distinctive design of the animal featured in the Zodiac for a given date. Perth Mint has continued issuing the coins annually and is on its third iteration of the collection as of 2020. Today, 1 oz Australian Lunar Gold Coins with random years are available online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The origins of the animal symbols in the Zodiac can be traced back to ancient Mesopotamia, particularly the Babylonians. The Babylonians divided the sky into 12 sections, each associated with a specific constellation. These constellations often represented mythological creatures or animals, and over time, they became associated with astrological signs.
All 1 oz Australian Lunar Gold Coins available here come to you with individual plastic capsules. In this listing, JM Bullion offers the coins with random years and varied designs. We cannot guarantee a specific year or design in advance. If you buy more than one, you may get coins with matching years and designs.
On the obverse of Australian Lunar Gold Coins, you will find an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. The specific portrait will vary by year, with Raphael Maklouf’s bust of the Queen on coins dated 1996-1996. Coins issued from 1998 to 2019 have Ian Rank-Broadley’s portrait of the Queen. Coins from 2020 to present feature Jody Clark’s image of Elizabeth II.
The reverse side of the 1 oz Lunar Gold Coin comes with varying depictions of the animals of the Zodiac. The specific animal featured on the coin will depend on the year of issue. For example, coins issued in 1996, 2008, and 2020 feature a depiction of a mouse.
