On the obverse of the 2017 1/10 oz Australian Gold Rooster Coin is the image of Queen Elizabeth II, captured in right-profile relief by Ian Rank-Broadley. Created in 1998, it is the fourth-generation image of Her Majesty.

The reverse of all 2017 1/10 oz Australian Gold Rooster Coins includes the unique Year of the Rooster design. While both gold and silver versions of the coin feature a Year of the Rooster design, the gold coin’s image includes just one rooster in the center of the design.

Located in Perth, Western Australia, the Perth Mint is Australia’s oldest operating mint. Opened in 1899 during British rule, the mint was originally part of the Royal Mint system along with the Sydney Mint and Melbourne Mint. Today it is a separate entity from the Royal Australian Mint and enjoys legal tender status for its coins under the Currency Act of 1965.
