The 1997 Gold Lunar Ox coin from the Perth Mint transports you back to the early era of modern bullion coinage. The 1997 issue was just the second of Perth Mint’s coveted Lunar Series collections and helped launch a new type of bullion coin designs. Now, certified-perfect 1997 1 oz Australian Gold Lunar Ox Coins are available to you for purchase online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
In 1996, Perth Mint launched a coin design series that would go on to become exceptionally popular with investors and collectors around the world. Ongoing in the 21st century, Lunar Series collections from Perth follow a 12-year cycle aligned with the exact years and animals on the Zodiac.
Back in 1997, the original Lunar Series I program was in its infancy and the Year of the Ox was the second offering ever. At this point in the program’s history, the coins were only available in gold. Silver coins weren’t introduced until 1999 and platinum coins weren’t offered until 2020.
Obverse design elements on these 1997 1 oz Gold Lunar Ox Coins include a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This is the third-generation portrait from the Royal Mint and was created in 1985 by Raphael Maklouf.
Reverse visuals on the 1997 Australian Gold Lunar Ox depict the powerful frame of an ox. This ox is shown in left-profile relief as its raised head looks back over its muscular frame to the distant background.
These 1997 1 oz Australian Gold Lunar Ox Coins are available to purchase in perfect condition. Mint State 70 coins are those specimens that showcase full, original mint luster and no detractions of any kind.
